Silage compactor
wins award for
innovation
»»An implement which
can increase the density of
silage by as much as 40%
received a major industry award
at the Royal Welsh Show.
The SilaPactor from Kelvin
Cave Ltd received the
prestigious Dr Alban Davies
Trophy which recognises the
machine, implement or device
which is likely to be of most
benefit to Welsh farmers.

The heavyweight
implement – which is
mounted on a tractor’s
three-point linkage and
used to consolidate forage
in layers as it goes into the
clamp – has been proven
to be far more effective at
eliminating air than a tractor
alone compacting forage
and significantly increasing
storage capacity.
