protec silo bag – ideal for weighing down silo covers

Gravel instead of sand – the optimal filling material!

• Does not absorb water
• Remains flexible, durable and easy to handle
• Does not freeze into a solid block, even when wet
• Easy to handle when loosely filled (approx. 2/3 full)
• Adapts well to uneven silo surfaces
• ill with fine gravel (2/8 mm grain size) without sand content. Do not use crushed stone.

The Better Silo Protection

Silo bags (commonly referred to as sandbags) are significantly more effective for securing silos than the car tires still often used. There are several reasons for this:

• Silo bags can be placed to form a barrier (every 2.5–5 m) that minimizes the entry of air under the film. This reduces mould formation in the edge areas. There are always air gaps between car tyres, which can, in the worst case, form a network of air channels across the entire silo.
• Depending on their age and condition, tyres can release wire ends. If these get into the silage and are subsequently fed to the animals, this can lead to serious health problems.
• Handling the bags is considerably easier and more effective, not only when covering the silo but also when moving them after opening. This not only saves working time – your back will thank you, too!
