Grangembal

Keeping your fodder safe

Grangembal, specially designed for wrapping, is a blown, seven-layer coextruded film. Its black inside gives it optimum opacity. Its green outside allows it to lower the temperature inside the bale and to blend into the landscape.

• Grangembal is made from carefully selected high quality resins, conferring it high mechanical properties and high adhesion, a guarantee of great solidity and perfect tightness.
• Grangembal contains UV protection which ensures twelve-month storage under normal use.
• Grangembal is fabricated on a material which benefits from the latest innovations in extrusion, ensuring quality and reliability.

Grangembal can be used for the storage of silage, straw or hay bales.

• Grangembal is suitable for all models of wrappers (round or square bales). It is available in 500 and 750 mm.
• Grangembal is a linear polyethylene film containing no harmful material and has therefore no polluting effect on the environment.
• Grangembal is made in the heart of France, in Haute Loire, by GRANGER Frères, a company backed by a 50-year experience in the field of plastic processing.
• Grangembal is 100% recyclable.
• Grangembal comes in black, light green, dark green and white.

Recommandations

• Store rolls standing in their wrapping and in a cool and dry place.
• Handle rolls carefully, taking care not to damage the edges.
• For quality silage, a dry-matter rate close to 50% is recommended.
• Wrap in the hours following the baling.
• Apply the film at a constant tension (<70%), black side in contact with the silage.
• Have at least 4 layers of film, each layer overlapping the previous by 50%. The width of the film when stretched must not be less than 400mm for the 500mm and 600mm for the 750mm.

Avoid

• Wrapping silage that has been contaminated by the ground.
• Wrapping bales that have been tied with nets made out of products which chemically damage polyethylene.
• Wrapping in the rain, for gluing could decrease.

Stocking bales vertically, preferably where they are wrapped, on a flat surface with a two row maximum height.
Inspect the bales regularly and plug any holes with tape designed for this application.
