At Grupo Armando Álvarez, we knew from the outset that our goal was to simplify things, and that's how our range of 2-in-1 solutions came about, combining silage plastic and underlayer in a single product.
These films are ideal for those looking to maximize silage efficiency and quality with a practical and sustainable approach.
The advantages are numerous:
1. Saves time and effort: by combining two functions in a single step, the time needed to cover the silo is reduced and the installation process is simplified.
2. Better sealing: these films provide a tighter seal, which improves anaerobic conditions and optimizes silage fermentation.
3. Reduced losses: by minimizing oxygen ingress, dry matter losses are reduced and forage quality is better preserved.
4. Higher return on investment (ROI): although the initial cost may be higher, the savings in time, labor, and reduced losses can offset the investment.
5. Lower risk of damage to the underlayer: protects the underlayer from mechanical damage and punctures, which are common when the two films are installed separately.
6. Storage savings: by requiring fewer rolls of plastic, storage space is optimized.
The Armando Álvarez Group offers two products in this range:
Silo film + standard underlayer: offers low oxygen permeability and high airtightness, improving anaerobic conditions for fermentation.
Silo film + oxygen barrier underlayer: prevents oxygen from entering, reducing losses of dry matter and essential nutrients, resulting in high-quality forage.
