When it comes to preserving silage and ensuring top-quality feed for livestock, farmers and feed managers need a reliable solution that minimizes waste and maintains freshness. Viaflex SealFresh barrier has quickly become a leading option in the agricultural industry due to its innovative engineering, ease of use and exceptional performance in silage protection.
By offering advanced oxygen barrier technology and superior durability, SealFresh reduces silage loss and improves feed quality, ultimately maximizing farm profitability.
One of the leading features of the SealFresh barrier is its durability. The outer layers comprise of high-strength linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), providing excellent tear and puncture resistance.
This ensures that the cover holds up under harsh conditions, from rough handling during installation to exposure to external elements like wind, rain, or animals. For SealFresh users, this means fewer repairs and replacements, reducing costs over time.
At the core of SealFresh is Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH) technology, which provides a completely impervious film. This technology prevents the migration of gases and oxygen into the silage pile, a crucial factor in preserving forage. By blocking oxygen transmission, SealFresh helps to maintain the ideal conditions, stabilizing silage and preventing spoilage. This feature translates directly into fresher, more nutrient-dense feed for livestock, contributing to better animal health and productivity.
SealFresh barrier film is accordion-folded and rolled on a core, making deployment faster and more efficient. Especially in large-scale farming operations, where time is crucial, and the convenience of a quick install is a significant advantage. The foldable panels not only simplify handling but also reduce the risk of damage during installation, ensuring the product can be laid out smoothly across large silage piles.
The SealFresh system is designed as a two-step silage covering process.
First layer: SealFresh, is a 2 mil non-reinforced oxygen barrier that clings tightly to the silage pile, preventing air pockets from forming beneath the cover.
Second layer: Dura-Skrim, is a 6 mil reinforced scrim, offering additional protection with reliable, tear-resistant seams. This two-layer approach maximizes both oxygen blocking and physical protection, ensuring the silage remains secure and well-preserved.
Silage Cover Solutions: Provides optimal protection for silage piles and bunkers, ensuring maximum nutrient retention and spoilage reduction.
Grain Storage Protection: Offers a superior barrier against moisture, pests, and environmental exposure for bulk grain storage.
Livestock Feed Preservation: Safeguards feed quality by minimizing oxygen exposure and maintaining nutritional integrity.
Crop Residue Storage: Keeps crop residues in prime condition for reuse or feeding purposes.
Compost Cover: Enhances composting efficiency by regulating moisture and oxygen levels while containing odors.
Aquaculture Pond Liners: Ensures clean and controlled water environments for aquaculture systems.
Manure Storage Covers: Helps prevent runoff and evaporation in manure storage facilities, supporting environmental compliance.
Viaflex SealFresh performs excellently due to its engineered materials and design. Its ability to block oxygen effectively and resist tears ensures that silage is well-protected for long durations. Farmers can trust that their silage will remain fresh and nutrient-rich, which translates into healthier livestock and greater efficiency. The product’s durability is another major asset, as it can withstand wear and tear over time, making it a long-term investment rather than a short-term solution.
The SealFresh barrier’s design is centered around ease of use and efficiency. Its multi-layer construction makes it lightweight yet strong, and the accordion-folding reduces the hassle of handling large sheets. The combination of pliability and strength means that the cover conforms well to the shape of the pile, ensuring a snug fit that maximizes protection. If you’re serious about maintaining feed quality and minimizing dry matter loss, the Viaflex SealFresh barrier is a product that delivers results and improves overall farm productivity.
