Tama Assist 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? Your 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 more demanding on the bale netwrap. So choose the best quality netwrap. It’s about:
- Producing stable, compact and quality bales
- Preserving your crop’s quality
· Ensuring 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 only needs 2.5 wraps per bale; a significant reduction from the usual four or five rotations, that many competitor nets require. That cuts both downtime and material use, while keeping compression and shape consistent across the bale.
Tama products also include Edge to Edge® technology which keeps the netwrap at full width across the bale as it wraps, resulting in even coverage and maintaining bale integrity. It also improves stackability and reduces crop loss.
Properly netwrapped bales retain more of their nutritional value, especially when baling forage or wrapping bales before ensiling. Strong, reliable netwrap means better compression, less oxygen exposure and fewer losses during storage and feed-out.
Tama’s round baling solution options, such as TamaCycle Netwrap and EZ Web made with recycled material, support sustainability goals and adhere to Plastic Packaging Tax rules, without sacrificing performance. That means you can reduce agricultural plastic use while still producing dense, durable bales.
The quality of your bale netwrap has a direct impact on efficiency, input costs and bale quality. Every Tama netwrap is designed for specific conditions, and if you’re not sure which one suits your setup best, have a look at our full netwrap range.
