500mm bale wrap is the ideal size for wrapping forage in bales. This is the right standard size for storing bales outside or inside the warehouse. If the bales have to be outside then you should protect them with several layers of plastic. Maybe around 7 to 8 layers so that rain, heat, and snow don’t damage the content of that silage.
Farmers like to do wrapping nowadays because there is a reason behind it. They know that the quality of silage bales will improve if they use 500mm bale wrap or above for larger bales. The nutrients in the bales would only shrink a little if they used this method to store the bales. Then they can use the silage bales as animal feed during critical periods such as extreme winter or summer.
Storing silage bales with the right plastic wrap will last longer, even more than 12 months. People can also buy bales of silage for various needs other than feeding livestock. Several large and small bales that you place based on a certain pattern in the pasture on the farm can also be an agrotourism attraction.
Outside Protection with 500mm Bale Wrap
Apart from the plastic bale wrap, you can also install additional netting when you roll it. This is specifically for bales which you store in an open space such as outside a warehouse. The 500mm size will be side by side with the 1800m length. Then the 750mm size will be side by side with the 1500m length and the 250mm size will be with the 1800m length.
Meanwhile, the thickness of plastic bale wrap is usually the same for various brands. It is 25μm. With variations in length, width, and color, you can find the product that best suits your specific needs in the field. You can use it for either big-scale agricultural use or smaller applications.
Make sure you don’t wrap dry round bales parallel to each other with plastic overlapping 6 to 8 inches. This can cause the straw to rot in certain areas. Then use plastic wrap with many layers so that rain or melting snow cannot enter the bale. The thicker the layer of plastic wrap, the smaller the potential for damage such as punctures to the plastic. To use 500mm bale wrap you also need tools such as a round bale arm or other baler wrapper machine.
How to Use 500mm Bale Wrap
500mm bale wrap will guarantee that your forage remains long-lasting with nutrients that are only slightly reduced when you disassemble it. This bale wrap keeps your harvest from being easily damaged. Whether damage is due to external or internal factors.
When you use a baler wrapper machine, you can place rolls of plastic bale wrap in the box. Store it neatly and pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions for using the machine to avoid excessive stretching of the plastic film. If the plastic stretches too much then the protection of the silage will be down. Then if you are going to wrap using 500mm bale wrap in the summer, you have to keep the roll clean.
You can start by stretching the bale wrap roll. If it is a 500mm bale wrap then the stretching distance is not lower than 15 inches. Then you can wrap it only no later than 2 hours after baling. After wrapping one bale, you can then move it to the nearest pile in the field.
