A Stretch Tube with Memory
The Lastic Tube system, featuring AT Films, Inc. exclusive “stretch tube with a memory” design, is the fastest, most economical, convenient and reliable way to produce baled silage. The Lastic Tube system provides a practical way to gain improved palatability of soft-textured baled silage, especially beneficial when backgrounding calves. Bloat and other digestive problems are also reduced, and there is less waste compared to dry hay when used in traditional round-bale feeders. A Manitoba Agriculture comparison trial found a 25 percent feed savings over dry hay when both kinds of feed were used in this type of feeder. Baled silage is readily adaptable to most dry hay systems (such as round-bale feeders) and can be unrolled in the field with less leaf loss than dry hay. It can also be chopped and fed from the tube.
Benefits:
- The fastest, most efficient way to protect and ensile hay and cereal forages of all types.
- Can be used with round or large square bale systems.
- Bales for silage can be put up at a higher moisture—between 40 and 60 percent, reducing leaf loss and weather delays.
- The specially formulated Lastic Tube film automatically shrinks down tight against the bale, eliminating oxygen and creating an ideal environment for fermentation. Airtight plastic tube keeps silage in top condition until required.
- A unique manufacturing process provides AT Films, Inc. films with superior tear strength, especially in the critical direction along the roll.
- High strength at folds means higher resistance to development of punctures and tears.
- Available in white/black or all white tri-extruded polyethylene film to best suit your climate and type of bales stored.
How Bags are Filled
- The hydraulic fingers of the tubing machine are set to the innermost position, and a Lastic Tube is positioned over the fingers.
- Fingers are hydraulically opened to expand the Lastic Tube to the approximate diameter of the bale.
- First bale is loaded into the tubing machine and pushed into the tube. The end of Lastic Tube is tied off to seal the starting end.
- Bales can now be continuously loaded in and pushed into the tube.
- Near the end of the Lastic Tube, yellow caution tape has been placed to alert the operator that the filled Lastic Tube will now need to be tied off.
