Silobolsa PLASTAR represents a technique designed to store grains, seeds, fertilizers, and fodders with a high degree of moisture for animal nutrition.

The Silobolsa technique is a system of silage bags manufactured by Plastar San Luis S.A. and co-extruded in three layers. When dry grain is stored, the respiration process consumes oxygen, creating a stable atmosphere low in oxygen and rich in carbon dioxide. These conditions prevent the growth of insects or micro-organisms inside the Silobolsa.

SAVINGS

The use of the Silobolsa system saves on commercialization costs and solves the lack of storage space and the logistics problems that arise at harvest time.

CONSERVATION

The use of the Silobolsa system saves on commercialization costs and solves the lack of storage space and the logistics problems that arise at harvest time.

QUALITY

Dry grains and pulses routinely stored in SILOBOLSA® Plastar bags include soybeans, corn, wheat, sorghum, barley, rice, beans, sunflower and rapeseed, amongst others. The modified atmosphere inside the Silobolsa conserves the quality of the grains.

VERSATILITY

Grains routinely used for fodder include: corn, sorghum and green chop. Storage of these grains in silo bags produces lactic fermentation, conserving nutritional properties similar to those in the original grain.

PREMIUM

The PREMIUM silo bag is designed to optimize harvests. Manufactured especially for storing dry grains and fodders, the high capacity of PREMIUM silo bag also helps lower operating costs.

APPLICATION AND CROPS

In full harvest season, and in your own field, grains go directly from hopper to silo. This allows for a certain degree of insect control without insecticides. The PREMIUM silo bag is used for stocking grains of corn, soy, wheat, sunflower, rice, sorghum, alfalfa, barley, rye, oat, rapeseed and millet, among other food byproducts, such as malt, and supplies, such as fertilizers.

BENEFITS

  •  Optimizes your harvest, reducing yield losses caused by transport delays or weather conditions.
  • Improves the storage capacity of premises with a low-cost operating system included as a harvest cost, rather than an investment that must be amortized.
  • Creates freight savings by allowing for off-season crop transport, increasing efficiency in sales planning and administration, thereby improving the company’s financial budget.
  • Offers the option of separating different types of seeds and grain qualities, creating cost benefits.

GRAIN
MOIST

 

The MOIST GRAIN silo bag optimizes harvests, manufactured to store moist grains, for dairy barns in production, feeders (wintering) and calf fattening (early weaning).

APPLICATION AND CROPS

It is used in crushers and moist grain baggers. It also allows for storage of alfalfa, spent malt, industrial byproducts, dry fine-grain cereals stocking, among others, as well as for stocking fertilizers and spent malt. Crops traditionally reserved as moist grain and most commonly used are corn and sorghum.

%

BENEFITS

  • Early harvest: harvest can take place between 30 and 45 days earlier than normal, depending on the crop and the degree of moisture desired.

  • Early pasture release, enabling unconventional crop rotation.

  • Improves management of pastures for fodder, producing highly nutritive fodders which can be stored and longer fallow periods.

  • Fodder is stored near the place of use, easily available and crushed in advance for direct animal feed.

  • Lower loss due to birds. This is particularly beneficial for free- or low-tannin sorghum, since harvest takes place before loss to birds.

ELASTIC TUBES

 

This bag is used to store moist grass rolls. Both gramineous (oat, ray grass, rescue grass, sorghum, etc.) and leguminous (alfalfa, clover, etc.) plants can be stored.

APPLICATION AND CROPS

Green feed production in cattle farming. Next winter, make sure your farm has green grass. Used to store moist grass rolls. Both gramineous (oat, ray grass, rescue grass, sorghum, etc.) and leguminous (alfalfa, clover, etc.) plants can be stored.

BENEFITS

  • Improves conservation and use of grass rolls

  • Features the best technique for pasture surpluses in general.

  • This silo bag can stretch and return to its original size thanks to its elastic-memory. It also eliminates oxygen pockets for good anaerobic fermentation.

  • Es una «Técnica Oportunista» porque no necesita una programación de tiempo anticipada para el corte, pudiéndose utilizar en cualquier época del año.

Pit covers

 

The BICOLOR is a three-layer plastic film mainly used for wheat or sorghum in bunker, trench and drive-over pile silos.

PLASTIAGRO® BICOLOR is a bicolor (black and white), three-layer co-extruded polyethylene film manufactured by Plastar San Luis S.A.

APPLICATION AND CROPS

These plastic films are manufactured in widths up to 12 meters and thicknesses ranging from 150 to 500 microns. Plastic films with a thickness of 150-200 microns are mainly used to cover wheat or sorghum bunker silos. Thicker plastic films (500 microns) are used in storehouse roofs as a replacement for corrugated metal sheets or in storehouses used for winter lambing, etc.

La capa blanca se debe colocar hacia el exterior. Esto hace que la temperatura que adopta sea mucho menor, con lo que se reduce notablemente la permeabilidad y se evita la «quema» del material que está en contacto con ella.

BENEFITS

  • Bicolor, three-layer plastic film ensuring higher mechanical strength and more resistance to weather.

  • Any kind of crop can be ensiled (pasture, green forage, soy, wheat, corn, sorghum, etc.).

  • Conserves all nutritional characteristics of the original crop in the best way.

  • Easily compatible with silage additives (salts, urea, bacteria, etc.) at the time of manufacture.
