Pit Covers

Standard and 2-in-1 oxygen-barrier pit covers that preserve silage quality from top to bottom. With 99% oxygen resistance you get higher-value, more nutritious feed right to the last of the stack, meaning more on your bottom line.

Single Sheet Pit Covers

Our standard black/white pit covers are built to a high quality with high impact resistance - customers that have tried our covers attest to their performance.

Metre markings are printed large, clear, and every metre. 

  • Available in various sizes:
    • 12m x 300m
    • 15m x 50m
    • 15m x 300m
    • 15m x 450m
    • 18m x 300m
    • 20m x 300m
    • 24m x 300m (by special order)

Vacuum Film

Manufactured by Barbier, Isolstar™ Flex is used underneath the black/white standard pit cover.  It is a thin flexible film to follow the contours of the stack surface, aiding in the reduction of air pockets and oxygen transmission, therefore raising silage quality.

Reduced air = reduced waste = visible results, meaning more milk in the vat or meat on your animals.

These small, manageable rolls are perfect for some situations:

  • When trialling a vacuum film to see the difference
  • When very few of your clients want a vacuum film
  • As an introduction to 2in1 covers

Available in one size: 14m x 50m x 40µm

 

2 in 1 Pit Covers

Underlay oxygen barrier film has been so successful that the majority offering is now for the underlay film to be included on the same roll as the black/white cover – 2 covers, 1 roll.  This improves the application process of the covers to the stack, and the expense of an oxygen barrier pit cover is negligible in comparison to the results – reduce waste to the top portion of the silage stack.

  • 2in1 Standard 20% Oxygen Barrier reduces feed value loss in the top silage by 30% (compared to single sheet)
  • 2in1 Superior 99% Oxygen Barrier reduces feed value loss in the top silage by 80% (compared to single sheet)
  • Standard 20% Oxygen Barrier has 3½ times the feed value loss when compared to Superior Oxygen Barrier 99%*
