Net Replacement Film(NRF)

Inner barrier silage film is a kind of special silage film, mainly used for wrapping forage replaces bale net inside the silage wrap film. It could also shape the bales like the bale net.

Inner barrier silage film is an innovative 5 layer pre-orientated film that replaces traditional netwrap in round silage bales. Specifically created for the next generation of baling machines that can apply film instead of net, such as the McHale Fusion 3 Plus, Krone Comprima and Orkel hiQ, Baletite has been designed to enhance the ensiling process and protect the bale contents.

Being a film, it provides an additional air barrier whilst helping to retain a better bale shape by exerting a tighter grip around the bale circumference. Plus, it reduces wastage of valuable silage wrap, as, unlike netwrap, no baled fodder can become enmeshed in it.

Its production from the same base material as balewrap means users don’t have to separate the barrier film from balewrap after use. Instead, both it and the accompanying balewrap can be recycled together thereby saving valuable time and labour costs.

Inner barrier film wrapped bales benefit from an enhanced ensiling process resulting in better crop conservation thanks to the increased oxygen barrier afforded by the extra film layers around the bale circumference.

  • Significantly Lower Dry Matter (DM) Spoilage: Unlike knitted mesh that traps air pockets beneath the stretch layers, NRF lays completely flat, providing immediate airtight coverage across bale shoulders.

  • Enhanced Bale Density & Shape Retention: Outstanding mechanical holding power grips the circumference firmly, producing denser, more uniform bales that stack and transport safely.

  • Streamlined Feeding & Single-Stream Recycling: Eliminates the messy chore of separating tangled netting from stretch plastic during cold winter feeding—unwrap both film layers simultaneously for clean recycling.

  • Exceptional Puncture & Dart Resistance: Engineered with multi-layer high-tenacity polymers to prevent puncture from aggressive forage stems (lucerne, alfalfa, and maize).
