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.
