SILO₂BLOCK®: 7-layer EVOH barrier film
SILO₂BLOCK® is a strong, flexible seven-layer silage film with a thin EVOH barrier layer at its centre. It reduces oxygen permeation and supports suitable conditions for anaerobic fermentation.
According to the manufacturer, 50 times lower oxygen permeability than conventional PE silage films.
UV-stabilised, made from 100% virgin material and recyclable.
Reduced oxygen ingress can support anaerobic fermentation and, according to product data, help reduce spoilage and improve feed quality.
Lightweight handling and a close silo fit
The lightweight, soft and flexible film follows the silo surface and can help reduce the formation of air pockets.
According to the manufacturer, thinner yet stronger than a standard 150 µm PE film.
Maximum width up to 55 m; foldable up to 16 times for transport and storage.
Can be combined with PE film and a nonwoven cover for additional protection.
NEXFLEECE by AGRO‑NEX® – premium straw cover fleece
NEXFLEECE by AGRO‑NEX® is our UV-stabilised, needle-punched polypropylene nonwoven for covering straw and hay bales. Its hydrophobic, air-permeable structure allows ventilation of the material beneath the cover.
An AGRO‑NEX® house brand – protects outside and breathes inside.
Water-repellent and hydrophobic, but expressly not waterproof.
Nominal area weight of 140 g/m², high air permeability, and resistance to oxidation and acidic or alkaline environments; non-biodegradable.
Correct installation and secure fastening
Cover performance depends significantly on bale moisture, stack design, tension, fastening and regular inspection.
Check internal moisture before stacking: small rectangular bales <20%, large rectangular bales <14% and round bales <15%; reference density approximately 180 kg/m³.
Store bales at least 25 cm above ground, maintain a cover pitch above 45° and leave the lower edge approximately 50 cm above ground.
Overlap sheets by at least 25 cm, or more than 35 cm in high-wind areas; secure with pins, clips or sandbags, do not attach ropes directly to the fleece, and remove accumulated snow regularly.
Agricultural bags and accessories
AGRO-NEX additionally supplies BUDISSA BAG silage and grain bags together with protection, sealing and repair materials. The specification and dimensions are matched to the machine, stored material and site.
Multi-layer, UV-stabilised agricultural bags for silage and grain.
Correct dimensions coordinated with the filling system.
Proper sealing, protection and regular inspection.
