SILAGE FILMS
Silage is the process of fermenting high-moisture and under anaerobic plant products to preserve the product and improve its nutritional value for use as animal feed. The silage product is called silage and the crops used vary with the most common being grass and corn. A prerequisite for silage preparation is the creation of appropriate conditions for the development of anaerobic microorganisms of the green plant mass, which will cause the lactic fermentation. This can be achieved by placing the silage product on:
• Wheat covered with silage films
• Silage bags
• Balls with wrapping film
5025 & 5021 BLACK/WHITE (SILAGE FILM)
The white outer layer reflects the heat and prevents overheating of the stored product, while the black layer ensures total opacity which is necessary to maintain the quality and nutritional value of the stored products. Because of their multilayer structure, the leaves have lower gas leakage than single-layer or bilayer films, resulting in better fermentation of the silage and hence improving the quality of the feed. The films are stabilized against ultraviolet (UV) radiation for one year and can be produced in large widths up to 20 meters.
- KRITIFIL BLACK/WHITE 5025/150μm
Three-layer sheet of polyethylene
Produced in widths of 6,8,10,12,14 meters - KRITIFIL BLACK/WHITE 5021/125μm
7-layer film of special high-strength polyethylene that makes it 125μm as durable as 150μm polyethylene film
Produced in widths of 16,18 meters
PE 1230 SILAGE UNDERLAY
Fine polyethylene film of very high strength and elasticity, suitable for use as an underlay, under the traditional black and white silage film. Purpose of silage is to create appropriate conditions for inducing anaerobic fermentation in corn or other feed. It is therefore important to minimize the penetration of oxygen through the silage film, as well as air between the film and the silage.
Due to the low thickness (35μm) and its high elasticity, the film adheres to the surface of the silage, thus avoiding the formation of air pockets between the film and the silage. The presence of two films (black and white) significantly reduces oxygen permeability, making anaerobic fermentation more effective.
- Ideal for silage without side walls.
- Highest inlay
- Significant reduction in seizure loss
- Significant reduction in seizure loss
- Significant reduction in seizure loss
- Produced in widths of 8,10,12,14,15,16 meters
5029 COMBI SILO
The most innovative product in silage. A global originality of Plastika Kritis. Two sheets together in the same roll: a very strong black and white 115μm thick sheet wrapped together with a 35μm thin and flexible foil which adheres to the silage and prevents the formation of air pockets between the sheet and the feed which would lead to degradation of its quality.
- Easier application
- Faster placement
- Safer installation
- Produced in widths of 12,14,16,18 meters
Black and white film and underlay in one roll!
7401 SILO2BLOCK
A revolutionary product with the new 7-layer technology of Plastika Kritis!
It consists of 7 layers of advanced materials that make it virtually impermeable to oxygen. This improves the fermentation, reduces losses and improves the quality of the feed.
The 7 layers allow for optimal distribution of materials and additives while at the same time it is possible to introduce a very thin layer of EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol), a polymer that makes the sheet practically gas-tight
The SILO2BLOCK is only 90mic thick, but despite its small thickness, it is stronger than the 150μm thick sheets.
- 10 times less permeable to Oxygen than standard film
- 7-layer film with extraordinary strength
- Ελαφρύτερο κι ευκολότερο στη χρήση
- Very soft & flexible, fits better on the silo and reduces air-pockets
- Width up to 16meters
- Made of 100% virgin high-strength materials
- UV guaranteed for 15 months (80-140 kLys)
- Fully recyclable
- Lighter rolls, easy to handle
- Easy to install Z-folding
- Perfect protection from damage during transportation
- Color silver/green
Unsurpassed safety – Outstanding Oxygen barrier!
5010 BLACK/WHITE
Polyethylene film thickness 200mic. It is an economical and effective solution to cover various farm structures such as sheepfolds, crutches, poultry farms, pig farms, warehouses and sheds. Ensures opacity and at the same time avoids overheating due to the sun’s reflection on the white exterior. Duration of life 3 years.
Caution: The shelf life of these sheets may be noticeably reduced if sulfur or chlorine or preparations containing them are used to decontaminate the structure.
