<a href="https://www.orkel.com/products/agricultural-compactors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Orkel's agricultural compactors</a> differ from ordinary grass- and maize balers by offering the customer a high-density baling concept; Using our high-density baling equipment to bale agricultural bulk material, you are creating dense, easy-to-handle bales, which will increase the quality of your harvest by removing practically all oxygen supply.



All Orkel compactors are baler-wrapper combinations, designed to make your harvest baling as efficient and user-friendly as possible.



So are you wondering what can be baled with Orkel? Our compactors are compatible with over <a href="https://www.orkel.com/materials">30 different materials</a>, assuring perfect bales every time.



Read more about the most common materials below!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MAIZE SILAGE</h2>



Efficient maize baling has been possible since 2002, when the world's first commercial maize baler for chopped maize / corn silage was made: The Orkel MP2000 compactor!



Today, maize bales for animal feed are used in more than 40 countries. Read about how <a href="https://www.orkel.com/blog/maize-corn-silage-baling">maize bales provide better forage quality!</a>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/Alfalfa-1__ResizedImageWzMwMCwxNjld.jpg" alt="What can be baled with Orkel? Image of a bale of Alfalfa being wrapped in plastic" class="wp-image-2469"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Alfalfa in a round bale.</figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CHOPPED GRASS</h2>



One of the most recognized bulk materials used as silage are the different kinds of chopped grasses, which Orkel customers worldwide are baling.



Chopped grasses stored as Orkel high-density bales provide superior conservation of the forage as well as simplified logistics. No more flyaway material!

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;TOTAL MIXED RATION (TMR)</h2>



Our range of agricultural compactors are designed for baling different forage mixes, and our great amounts of TMR experience can confirm this!



Baling TMR, short for total mixed ration, is a great way to ensure safe storage and optimal conservation of the forage, as well as easy market access.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/TMR-2__ResizedImageWzMwMCwyMDBd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2475"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">TMR bale.</figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SUGAR BEET PULP</h2>



When ensiled in a bale, the pulp cools down much faster than in bunker silos or bags. The bales can be fed after as little as two weeks of storage, compared to a bunker or bag silo where you have to wait a minimum of six weeks.



Moreover, baling sugar beet pulp is convenient for the farmer: After opening and feeding a bale, the remaining bales stay closed, retaining 100% of their quality.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/Sugar-Pulp__ResizedImageWzMwMCwyMjVd.jpg" alt="What can be baled with Orkel? Image shows a bale of sugar beet pulp being baled." class="wp-image-2477"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sugar beet pulp bale.</figcaption></figure>











<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CRIMPED GRAIN</h2>



Grain crimping, a way to preserve feed grain into silage by fermentation, has been a well-known method for many years with a number of proven benefits.



Due to the fragments and consistency of the material, the logistics of the small grain has been a challenge, until now. The Orkel agricultural compactors are adapted to bale crimped grain with high efficiency, providing improvements in areas such as conservation, storage and transport!&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SAW DUST / SAW SHAVINGS</h2>



Baling is a smart and easy way to store saw dust and shavings, the often-forgotten versatile bulk material. The baling process reduces the volume significantly and simplifies the storage.



Saw dust in bales also provides easy and cost efficient transport, without having to depend on containers where the material otherwise would be stored loosely. Read more about <a href="https://www.orkel.com/blog/wood-shavings-storage">baling saw shavings</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.com/app/uploads/2023/06/wood-shavings.png" alt="Closeup picture of wood shavings" class="wp-image-7671"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Saw dust in round bales provides efficient logistics.</figcaption></figure>

As a business owner, deciding on what machinery you are going to invest in can be daunting. As a matter of fact, in conversations with prospects the topic of film-on-film vs. net-on-film is often brought up, where the customer finds themselves torn between the two options with few resources to guide them on their way! 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/Biobrenselflis-008__ResizedImageWzYwMCw0NTJd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2439"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">High-density bales stacked in four stories.</figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is film-on-film technology?</h2>



If you happen to be unfamiliar with the film vs. net question, allow us to bring you up to date:



As the compactor chamber is finished applying high-density pressure to bale your material, a wide film is applied to the bale, keeping it intact as the bale exits the chamber.



Once it has been transported to the wrapping table, the bale, which is secured with wide film, is sealed shut using layers of wrapping film for optimal feed storage. The combination of these films is what we refer to as film-on-film preservation. Read <a href="https://www.orkel.com/blog/recycled-film">more about our recycled film</a>.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/maize-4__ResizedImageWzYwMCw0NTBd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2441"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Maize silage baled using film-on-film.</figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Film-on-film recommendations</h2>



Orkel representatives are not shy in admitting that we have one definite recommendation: Film-on-film. However, we are aware that every customer’s situation is unique, and as businesses flows and ebbs one’s needs often varies over time.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why should I consider film-on-film bale preservation? &nbsp;</h2>



Below we have gathered a list of points to start you off, describing the benefits of baling using film-on-film technology to preserve and store your bulk material. Have a look, you may find that some of the arguments may have a positive impact on your business!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Remove oxygen for increased profitability</h2>



Choosing a high-quality wide film prevents oxygen from entering your bale, leaving a positive effect on your profitability.



How? Compared to your traditional wrapping net, the Orkel-enforced wide film offers a higher oxygen barrier, a quintessential factor for forage producers. Without an oxygen barrier, the free flow of oxygen will speed up the deterioration process of your feed, resulting in the nutritional value of your silage to drop.



By applying film-on-film technology using a high-quality wide film (instead of net), you maintain the nutrition levels, hence optimize your profitability, by greatly limiting the oxygen supply to your feed.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/hemp-2__ResizedImageWzYwMCw0NTBd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2443"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Increase your profitability by preserving your forage!</figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Simplified recycling</h2>



Applying wide film and wrap film made from the same material will open the door for wrap recycling and simplified wrap order placement. In terms of recycling, the act of using the same material in two types of wraps can grant you time saved.



Customers are relieved to avoid the hassle of separating the two materials for proper waste disposal, especially where recycling is required! When it comes to order placement, you may find that your logistics experience a boost as you are able to purchase both wide film and wrapping film from the same provider, where you previously had to coordinate between two suppliers.



Welcome, hassle-free recycling and loyal wrap providers.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Access recycled film alternatives</h2>



Continuing the recycle-related benefits: Using wrapping films provide you the choice of purchasing recycled options. Over the past years, the demand for recycled options to film has soared with the growing share of sustainability-driven farmers and contractors.



As a growing number of recycled film options are popping up, you can be certain there are recyclable options for wide film due to their close resemblance.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/MicrosoftTeams-image-2__ResizedImageWzYwMCw2MDBd.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2445"/></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Increased bale density and enhance your logistics</h2>



The smooth appearance of the film-on-film bale is designed for easy maneuvering and market appeal. Using high-end machinery should reflect in the quality of your end product, which is where wide film provides some added qualities.



As the uniform layering of the wide film and the wrapping film is combined with Orkel’s high-density bale wrapping technology, you are left with a compact and sturdy bale.



Not only does the sturdiness of the bale allow for easier maneuvering by your operators (from fewer human errors), but it is also appealing for the eye.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/CIMG0645__ResizedImageWzYwMCw0NTBd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2447"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Simplify your logistics by reducing human error!</figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seamless bale opening</h2>



Using one type of film, you can be confident of a seamless bale opening routine every time. This is one aspect that is left out of the investment consideration, naturally you’ll want to open the bale and distribute its content!



By creating bales using only one type of material, you can guarantee a smooth bale opening if the bale opening equipment is compatible with the outer layer of wrap.



No uncomfortable surprises, only efficient operation.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Become an Orkel compactor prospect</h2>



<a href="https://www.orkel.com/products/agricultural-compactors">Our compactor models are designed with a film-on-film technology</a>, as this is what we recommend for optimal preservation. If you're looking for a film-on-film solution, you have come to the right spot! Not to toot our own horn, but we do specialize in hassle-free and trust-worthy wrapping machinery.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/Dens-X_Austria_2021-121__ResizedImageWzYwMCw4MDBd.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2449"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Join the group of pleased Orkel customers! </figcaption></figure>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enforced technology</h2>



The film-on-film technology is not only enforced within the Orkel company, but also approved by our film providers (who happen to be some the most prominent producers in the wrap market.) Working close with wrap providers, Orkel is dedicated to understanding the road to optimal forage preservation using the very best materials. It is the wrap providers best interest to offer a product that meets their customers’ high standards.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing and quality - hand in hand</h2>



After a thorough discussion on the benefits, we would also want to acknowledge that net film, and other similar options, often may be found a tad cheaper than the quality film that Orkel enforces. For our price sensitive customers, we understand why this argument might be of outmost importance. However, pricing and quality often go hand in hand, and as the Orkel team is consistently reaching for the best which this is exactly why we enforce it!



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/orkel-bales-belgium__ResizedImageWzYwMCw0NTBd.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2451"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Film-on-film provides even better protection during storage.</figcaption></figure>







Swedish studies conducted on the area of net+film vs. film+film indicate that the film-on-film solution is slightly more expensive, as each bale will cost an average of 4 Swedish kronor, or 0,39 euros more per bale. Depending on the number of layers, be it four, five, six, seven, or eight layers, the increased cost for each bale using film-on-film rather than net-on-film are 4,8SEK(0,47EUR), 4,4SEK(0,43EUR), 4,0SEK(0,39EUR), 3,6SEK(0,35EUR), and 3,2SEK(0,31EUR) respectively.



However, since film-on-film improves silage preservation, you may find that film wrapping requires fewer layers than net wrapping. Allowing oneself to reduce wrapping by two layers, film-on-film may prove cost efficient (and time efficient) for your production!

Film-on-film technology to the rescue!

<h2>New Orkel Film Uses Recycled Content for Improved Environmental Credentials</h2>
Orkel has added a new film made with 25% post-consumer  recycled plastic (PCR) to its range of agricultural films. Orkel PRO 1800 Sustane incorporates PCR into a high-performance product to deliver a quality silage film with an improved environmental profile.
The use of recycled content in Orkel PRO 1800 Sustane film adds to the existing benefits of pre-orientated ProTechnology. The film also provides a longer reel length than standard 25 μm, 1500m film, so customers can wrap more bales per reel, saving time and preserving silage quality.
By using recycled content, Orkel is supporting the circular economy and helping to divert waste from landfill or incineration. Life cycle analysis data confirms that using Orkel PRO 1800 Sustane 23 μm film (with 25% PCR) reduces the environmental load by 24% compared to standard 25 μm film (with 0% PCR)*.
Additionally, Orkel PRO 1800 Sustane film has been certified by RecyClass, giving users full traceability to the origin of the recycled content. The product is also conveniently packaged in a polyethylene (PE) sleeve, allowing the balewrap and outer packaging to be recycled together and eliminating the need for separation.
&nbsp;
***This was calculated using the equation in the Circular Stretch Film Project Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) from Materials and Packaging Research &amp; Services (MPR&amp;S), published 26th February 2021.

WHY WOULD I CONSIDER INVESTING IN A COMPACTOR WHEN I ALREADY OWN A SILO FOR STORING MY FORAGE?



This is the case for many of our customers who have worked within the forage market for a while, and are presented with Orkel's technology.



Today, many farmers use bunker silos as their primary fodder storage and are content with this solution.



But why do many of Orkel's customers use an Orkel compactor in addition to their silo, and why do some of them end up discarding their silo completely? Round bales or silo?



Let's compare!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Practical benefits</h2>



As we carefully described in our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.orkel.com/blog/5-benefits-of-baling-with-an-orkel-compactor" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">article on Benefits of Baling</a>, baling your forage with an Orkel compactor provides four overall benefits compared to traditional storage.



What makes baling practical?



<ul>
<li>Compaction Reduce the forage volume (through higher density) while excluding oxygen</li>



<li>Wrapping Bales are not compromised in cases of heavy rain</li>



<li>Storage Allows for easy stacking and relocating the forage, increasing space efficiency</li>



<li>Transport Easier transport due to already compartmentalized material, resulting in easier market access</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Significant differences in losses</h2>



A study conducted by the&nbsp;Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences&nbsp;(SLU) confirms there are significant differences in forage quality based on how the forage&nbsp;is stored.



The study was conducted across 12 different farms from 12 bunker silos, 6 bag silos, 3 tower silos and 2x60 round bales. Samples were collected three days a week, a total of 650 samples during harvesting and another 300 samples during feeding.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/ResizedImage535358-Orkel-Dens-X-loading-with-sovel-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2516"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Orkel Dens-X Compactor</figcaption></figure>







<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Invisible losses</h5>



The most noteworthy discovery were the invisible losses due to fermentation.



The average losses were 14,1% for the bunker silos, 11,5% for bag silos and 23,4% for tower silos. The round bales, however, had an average loss of&nbsp;1%.&nbsp;



The low loss average in round bales are most likely due to low oxygen supply resulting from a denser packed forage together with a shorter time span from opening to feedout.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/ResizedImage535178-topic1-6d013fc3f4edb0ff90183c6295fc7d2e.jpg" alt="The image shows the layout of a bunker silo, visualizing the difference in choice between round bales or silo" class="wp-image-2518"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The layout of a bunker silo</figcaption></figure>







Some additional key numbers from the conducted study:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://wp.orkel.no/app/uploads/2023/04/Summary-from-forage-conservation-study.png" alt="A diagram showing key results from a study" class="wp-image-3755" width="522" height="437"/></figure>



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">WHAT IS ULTIMATELY THE OUTTAKE FROM THIS STUDY?</h5>



To put it simply; This means that the forage in bunker, bag and tower silos lose substancial amounts of energy and protein during storage, while forage in round bales do not.



The general rule of thumb is the less energy and protein in the forage, the more forage your animals will need in order to maintain a high production. Based on the result of this study,&nbsp;your animals will get more energy from less forage if your forage is stored in bales!



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does this mean that all silos are bad?</h2>



No!



Silos offer a good storage solution for farmers, which is the reason for why it always has been such a popular storage solution worldwide.



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">HOWEVER, SILOS ARE DEMANDING</h6>



Silos have the potential to be good storage solutions if the user is familiar with optimal silo management, which unfortunately is too great a demand for your average farmer.&nbsp;Common errors such as overfilling silos, low packing density, inadequate sealing techniques, and poor inspection are often the source to why the bulk material deteriorates.



Additionally, a silo under optimal conditions would not retain the forage nutrients as consistently as a high-density bale under optimal conditions, which is illustrated in the calculated losses mentioned above.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why not start today?</h2>



So what should you choose, round bales or silo? To sum up, the transition from silo to bales represent a significant investment for most farmers, however, the the long-term benefits are undeniable. And if you have little experience with round bales, why not consider an overlapping transition as many of our customers? <a href="https://www.orkel.com/products/agricultural-compactors">Explore our range of agricultural compactors today!</a>

Round bales or silo?

Orkel Widefilm, is a high strength wide roll film specifically designed for compactors and high bale density.
The baler film provides extra layers of protection around the circumference of the bale, reducing oxygen ingress and reducing spoilage. The baler film’s high strength creates more compact bales, that can better withstand handling.
The smooth film texture of Orkel balerfilm means that no silage can become enmeshed during opening, making the process easier.
Orkel balerfilm is manufactured from the same base material as balewrap and can therefore be recycled together without separation.

<h2>Superior oxygen barrier</h2>
Orkel Wrap 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. The reinforced oxygen barrier provided by Orkel Wrap helps to prevent the growth of white mould, which in turn means fewer losses of valuable fodder.
<h2>Exceptional puncture resistance</h2>
As a pre-orientated film manufactured using modern 5 to 7 layer blown film extruders, Orkel Wrap offers exceptional puncture resistance.
<h2>Additional bale edge protection</h2>
Orkel Wrap’s ability to cover the bale from edge to edge offers additional protection around the edge of the bale &#8211; especially useful when baling stalky crops.
<h2>More compact, denser bales</h2>
Due to the high tightening force, Orkel Wrap creates tighter, more compact bales that benefit from a more rounded shape. These compact bales take less space during transport and storage and are more stable during storage.
<h2>Smooth film surface</h2>
Orkel Wrap is easier to remove as no fodder can become enmeshed as when using netwrap. This is particularly useful during winter months as fodder will not become trapped in frosty conditions. Thanks to its smooth film surface bales can be unwrapped quickly and easily.
UV and HUV stabilized.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quality assurance</h2>



After <a href="https://www.orkel.com/blog/testing-orkel-recycled-film">completing extensive testing</a>, we are proud to share that the film offers a matched film quality as our previous wrapping films. Mr. Håkon Røed, Engineer of The Livestock Production Research Centre in Norway, partook in baling and nutrition tests of the film, and confidently expresses that he is optimistic to the recycled wrap. In addition to the assured quality, the wrap introduces added selection: “There are apparent benefits in providing different types of high-quality film, depending on the values of the customer (or researcher, in our case!)” We couldn’t agree more regarding it being a significant addition to the baling industry, especially due to the looming tax additions from the EU, which this product avoids.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Official producer statement</h2>



"As recycled wrap is manufactured in 7 layers, it has a high resistance to dynamic impact and to tearing, minimizing the risk of film perforation and allowing the bales of fodder to be wrapped and transported with excellent resistance guarantees."
