Optimised baling solution to launch at Agritechnica 2025

Silotite, a leader in forage film solutions, is excited to launch a new net replacement film at Agritechnica 2025, that promises to reduce downtime.

 

At Agritechnica, Silotite will launch its latest innovation, Baletite 3000m, a longer-length baler film designed to improve efficiency for large-scale contractors.

With a 50% longer film length (3000 metres per roll) compared to standard Baletite, Bart Geeraert, Silotite’s commercial director, explains that operators will benefit from spending more time in the field without returning to restock reels, reducing downtime by up to 50%.

“The 1330mm width is optimized for all combi machines, ensuring optimal bale formation and over-edge protection,” he says.

“The Film&Film wrapping concept offers several advantages over net wrap, including reduced spoilage, easy bale opening, and simplified recyclability, and this expansion is the next step in driving productivity.

He adds: “We’ve listened to contractor feedback and created a film that not only improves output but also delivers denser, longer-lasting bales.”

With improved holding force compared to net wrap, Mr Geeraert says Film&Film improves bale density and prevents slumping in long-term storage. Minimising expansion prevents air from re-entering the bale and facilitates better ensiling conditions.

Following the integration of Amcor and Berry Global earlier this year, Silotite is supported by Amcor’s expertise, which has helped drive the development of next-generation agricultural films that deliver exceptional crop protection, operational reliability, and more sustainable outcomes.

Mr Geeraert says for farmers, contractors, and distributors, this means greater security of supply, stronger technical support, and ongoing investment in innovation.

“I encourage anyone interested in improving their forage quality to join us on our stand at Agritechnica (Hall 25, Stand 25A06) to explore our solutions designed for contractors and farms alike,” he concludes.
