Optimum protection for your harvest
silage films maintain silage quality in the sealed silo. It protects the air-tight underlay film from UV radiation, mechanical stress and the elements. It also reduces air exchange between the silage and the underlay film. AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG offers you a wide product range for silage films.
• Elan three-layer film
The three-layer film from Elan is produced using a special extrusion process (TriEx). During this process, the individual layers are combined into a highly resilient bond with one another in the melt, yet without intermixing with one another. Users can achieve specific mechanical, visual and thermal characteristics which surpass conventional German Agricultural Society (DLG) requirements.

• Polydress O2 Barrier 2-in-1 – combination between silage and underlay films
After the combination film has been laid out, the underlay film absorbs moisture from the ensilage material. This improves firmness, stretching and puncture resistance significantly. The water vapour diffuses through the underlay film and condenses on the silage film, which blocks the vapour. This causes the underlay film to separate from the silage film and nestle against the silo stock’s uneven surface.

Elan stretch film is particularly suitable when bales need to be wrapped quickly.
New: Elan forte Pro
Silotite protects millions of silo bales, round and rectangular, worldwide every year. Silotite was developed for problem-free use on all bale wrapping machines and combines the advantages of high strength, reliability and a long service life which bale packing provides.
Advantages
Silotite is manufactured using state-of-the-art five-layer extrusion technology, which maximises mechanical aspects in stretch film, thus ensuring reliable, high-grade crop packing. SilotitePro, a technically highly developed, pre-oriented stretch film, offers farmers and contractors a triple advantage – an improved bale wrapping process, significant cost savings and increased harvest quality.
All films in the Tenospin range provide you with maximum reliability on all wrapping machines. They impress thanks to the use of optimum-grade raw materials, thus guaranteeing consistent high quality in production and a long storage life.
Advantages:
All films in the Tenoplus range provide you with maximum reliability on all wrapping machines. They impress thanks to the use of optimum-grade raw materials, thus guaranteeing consistent high quality in production and a long storage life.
Advantages:
If you value dimensionally stable bales and simple, clean silage unwrapping, you’re on the right track with Polydress® Round Bale Film. Crop packing will all run smoothly with this round bale film.
Advantages:
Baletite is an innovative polyethylene foil which serves as a replacement for traditional round bale netting. It was specially developed for the new generation of bale wrapping machines which can attach films instead of nets to improve the ensilage process. This means additional protection for bale content. The film can be used for grass, maize and sugar beet. It is suitable due to its limited UV resistance but not for straw or hay.
Combined with Silotite stretch film, the Baletite net replacement film is an innovative next generation dual film wrapping method. It provides a significantly improved oxygen barrier. This combination delivers more compact, denser bales which are better shaped and better protected.
The tenobale Compressor is a new solution which uses high-grade stretch film to provide easy handling of silage bales while improving retention of energy content and nutrients.
Advantages:
Tube films are an interesting alternative to conventional silo structures. Polydress FarmTube offers all-round reliable protection for such uses. The film is first choice for professional feed conservation and storage of food crops.
Advantages:
The harvest advancement film stores the solar energy irradiated into the soil, thus ensuring the soil warms up and providing an air layer near to the ground. At least 500 holes per square metre with a hole diameter of 1 cm are required for ventilation and water flow.

Advantages:
We have been experts in film products for more than 40 years. There have been new developments in this area ever since then. We also offer films and fleeces optimally matched to asparagus harvest advancement.
The mechanical properties of the Raiffeisen HiProPlus pocket film provide maximum durability. You can regulate crops as required by turning over the film, thus allowing for more breaks and improved manpower planning.
Material:
Advantages:
Thermal film XXL is very wide and is used on its own or as a double cover on film that has already been attached. A maximum thermal effect is achieved thanks to the high proportion of thermal additives and especially thanks to the width. This film type can be used as a double cover layer in combination with all film types. If you heat the ground with the thermal film XXL and then lift the black-and-white film at the first stitch, you can regulate the asparagus yield to an optimum extent throughout the season.
The greenhouse effect is increased if you tense the thermal film XXL over frames, creating an air buffer between the bank and the thermal film. This air buffer prevents the ground from cooling at night.
Advantages:
Every year, AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG organises a silage film return and recycling initiative across the region together with its member cooperatives and agricultural centres. Raiffeisen cooperatives thus pursue recycling management objectives and offer farmers a worthy alternative to landfill or incineration.
Films are collected at various locations in the AGRAVIS region. Your cooperative or agricultural centre will inform you of the collection date in good time. As you would expect, we’ll also be happy to notify you of the exact date and place of the next collection in your area.
We only accept silage films without any stretch or wrapping film and free of any cording. The films should be brushed clean, bundled together, and delivered dry, if possible.
The high proportion of dirt on silage film poses great problems for recycling companies. Wear on shredder blades is excessive and it is expensive to treat cleaning water and dispose of sludge. You as a farmer can help to keep down costs for disposal if you observe the following:
AGRAVIS AG arranges for the films that farmers take to collection points to be transported to the film manufacturers. There, they are shredded in a special recycling process, washed thoroughly several times, dried and then melted in an extruder. The recovered re-granulate is used to manufacture new silage films and construction foil, thus closing the recycling loop.
