The bale wrapper, EW-450A, is a simple-to-use machine with a hydraulic drive. It's intended use is for
the wrapping of individual bales of pre-dried hay from grasses and leguminous fodder plants with stretch film.
Plants intended for bales for silage should be mowed in the initial phase of earing. After a dozen or so hours of
pre-drying, the hay should be collected using the roll baler in a way that ensures maximum density with the
smallest amount of air in the middle of the bale. After the rolling of the bales, they should be wrapped as soon
as possible on the bale wrapper. The bales left unwrapped for long periods of time may be caused to resist the
putrefactive processes.
Bale wrapping with the film (foil), protects the mixture for ensilage before the long exposure to air, light
and moisture, creates favourable conditions for fermentation process. After wrapping, you must stack bales
in a maximum of two layers in a dry place on level ground. Particular attention should be paid to avoid
possible damage to the film. The damaged areas should be repaired in such a way as to ensure the continuity
of the layer. After approximately 6 to 8 weeks of storage at ideal temperatures, The haylage is then suitable for
the feeding of animals with the feed having reached it's maximum nurishment level.
