FOR over 35 years , Silotite has been used by farmers and contractors all over the world to wrap millions of silage and haylage bales every year . Through a programme of continual in-field research and investment in their production facilities , Silotite has evolved in line with the ever-increasing demands of today ’ s modern farming practices , the developments in high output machinery and the demands of increasingly professional contractor operations . As part of its mission to continually improve efficiency , ease of use and sustainability . Silotite have announced a major investment in their UK production site which will enable the company to add new products to their Professional Range of bale wrapping films . The investment includes a fully automated and patented sleeve packaging line , enabling the production of silage film with an additional 20 % extra length on the roll . The new product , Silotite 1800 , will start to roll off the production line in Spring 2021 .

Designed specifically with contractors in mind , Silotite 1800 is perfect for both round and square bales and can be used on any type of crop and bale wrapping machinery . With its 1800m length , contractors get up to 20 % more bales per reel , meaning less downtime to change reels . Along with the quality of film you ’ d expect from Silotite , our new Silotite 1800 is a technically advanced stretchfilm that has an enhanced oxygen barrier and UV protection for bales , whatever the weather .

The innovative sleeve packaging offers significant advantages for contractors and stockists . Being lighter than the standard cardboard box , there is a reduction of almost 20kg in packaging material used on every pallet . Cardboard also takes up a lot of space on the pallet . By using sleeve packaging we can add an extra 300m of film on each reel .

Along with time savings , Silotite 1800 means there is 20 % less handling , transportation and storage space required . Its unique sleeve packaging means that there are no bulky boxes to handle , and recycling is easy , as the packaging is made from the same film as the bale wrap . No separating of recycling materials is needed . Another advantage of the sleeve packaging is that the reel is more protected when it is stored on the baler . The water resistant core also give protection against humidity , whilst still being made of cardboard , it is also recyclable .

Working with baler film

Silotite 1800 also works in combination with Baletite baler film , meaning even more versatility . Baletite baler film ensures round bales are compact and denser , and provides an enhanced oxygen barrier that discourages mould growth . Baletite also benefits from the sleeve packaging , for ease of use when handling .

Silotite offers contractors several benefits including more bales per reel , time savings and enhanced silage quality . Its unique sleeve packaging means that Silotite has less packaging material , with no bulky boxes to move around and recycle separately . The packaging is made of the same material as the film inside , so it can all be recycled together .
