Cornstalk baling can be a difficult task, unless you are using the correct net wrap. Different brands, and even different product lines of the same brand, can have very different attributes that make them more suitable for handling the rigors of cornstalk baling. These attributes include elasticity, UV protection, and durability.
Elasticity is essential in maintaining the integrity of the bale throughout the wrapping and transporting process. Having a net wrap that is highly elastic will help it hold tight, despite the harshness of cornstalks. For the best elasticity, you will want a net wrap that is manufactured with a blown process. This process ensures the highest level of elasticity versus extrusion methods.
UV protection will help the longevity of the bale. This ensures the sun will not deteriorate your net wrap and make transportation to the field or customer much easier, if your bale has been sitting in the sun.
Durability is one of the most important attributes for you to look for, while comparing net wraps. Net wraps that withstand the sharpness of the cornstalk will ensure you don’t bust your bale at any point of the baling process.
