The Benefits of Tama’s Heavy Duty Netwrap for High Density Crop Baling

High density crop baling is a common practice for a good reason. By tightly compressing more forage into each bale, you reduce the number of bales to transport and store. The result? You save time, space, and costs; especially when working at scale.

But denser bales also bring extra pressure….literally. They are heavier, under more tension and are more demanding on the bale netwrap. So, to avoid bale failure, it’s essential to choose the best quality netwrap. Quality netwraps are not just simple product copies, they are packed with unseen innovation, designed to:

• Produce stable, compact and quality bales
• Preserve your crop’s quality
• Ensure bales structurally hold up during handling and storage.

With high density bales, the forces inside and around the bale’s circumference increase. If the netwrap stretches too much or doesn’t provide full edge-to-edge coverage, you risk damage to the bale’s integrity and losses to the baled crop inside.

Tama’s heavy duty baling products are designed specifically for these heavy loads and tough crops. Tama netwrap (Edge-to-Edge, for example) is manufactured from high strength HDPE and incorporates ‘mesh lock’ technology to reduce the risk of tearing under pressure. That makes a real difference when you’re stacking bales or storing them outdoors.

Mesh lock technology is a key structural feature in Tama netwraps. It is a design that prevents net laddering and ensures the net structure stays intact under pressure. It keeps each strand of netwrap locked in place, improving bale stability during handling, stacking and storage; especially important when baling dense or heavy crops.

One example of mesh lock technology is TamaNet+ ROYAL® which typically reduces the number of wraps per bale to 2.5 vs traditional netwrap which requires the usual four or five rotations. Importantly, that reduction ups productivity in the field and reduces the amount of material used, while keeping compression and shape consistent across the bale = overall lower cost per bale.

Tama products also include Edge to Edge® technology which keeps the netwrap at full width as it wraps, resulting in even coverage and maintaining bale integrity. It also improves stackability and reduces crop loss.
