Agribale NRF is a film binding material produced by BPI for round balers equipped with a film binding system. It is designed to replace Netwrap in selected silage applications and add an extra protective film layer around the bale.

Common alternatives include Netwrap and stretchfilm based binding systems. Tama EZ Web offers another option for approved round balers, using considerably less plastic than NRF, supporting a wide range of crops and making the binding material easier to remove and recycle.

Yes. Before purchasing Agribale NRF, check the baler manufacturer's guidance and confirm that the machine is equipped for film binding. Your local dealer can also help verify compatibility.

No. Agribale NRF is intended for selected high moisture crops and is not recommended for dry hay or cereal straw, as these can puncture the film. For dry crops, choose a suitable Netwrap or twine solution.

Agribale NRF is a film binding alternative designed for selected crops, particularly grass silage, maize and sugar beet pulp. Unlike standard Netwrap, it creates an additional film layer around the bale, helping maintain density and support silage preservation.

The coloured Zebra® pattern helps operators identify the two sides of the roll at a glance. It makes correct roll loading easier and also shows the direction in which the Netwrap should be removed from the finished bale.

Tama Netwrap rolls are designed with dimensions that fit comfortably into the net box of standard baler types. They are developed and approved in cooperation with leading baler manufacturers to support broad machine compatibility.

Roll price is only part of the calculation. Cost per bale also depends on roll length, net strength, coverage, the number of wraps required and trouble free operation. Tama Netwrap is designed to combine these factors and deliver strong overall value. Contact your local Irish Tama representative for a cost per bale comparison.

Tama premium Netwrap combines Edge to Edge® coverage, guaranteed minimum roll length and high strength. The result is more bales per roll, fewer roll changes, less storage space, reduced plastic use and a competitive cost per bale for Irish contractors and farmers.

The number of bales depends on bale diameter, crop type and the number of wraps applied. Follow the recommendations shown on the roll sleeve and instruction booklet to select the correct setting for Irish grass, silage, hay or straw conditions.

Yes, net width and spreading performance are both essential. Tama Netwrap is 1.23 m wide and designed to spread from edge to edge across typical round baler chambers, helping protect the bale shoulders and maintain shape in Irish weather conditions.

TamaCycle Netwrap helps reduce the environmental impact of baling by using less plastic per bale and incorporating a high proportion of post industrial recycled material. Its packaging also contains post consumer recycled content, supporting more responsible use of agricultural plastics in Ireland.

TamaCycle Netwrap is a high performance recycled baling solution developed to reduce environmental impact without compromising reliability. It uses less plastic per bale, contains recycled material and is supplied in packaging containing 40% to 100% recycled content. Its black and green ZEBRA® pattern makes it easy to identify.

No. TamaCycle Netwrap is engineered to combine dependable baling performance with a lower-impact material approach. It delivers the strength and durability needed for day-to-day Irish baling while incorporating recycled content and reducing plastic use per bale.

For reliable Netwrap performance, begin with a clean and correctly prepared baler. Remove dirt, rust, sharp edges and dried paint from every surface that contacts the net. Check that the net is threaded correctly and that tension bars, spreader bars and feed rollers are clean, smooth and properly aligned.

Inspect rubber rollers for moisture or residue and use talc or an anti-static spray when loading a new roll. On variable chamber balers, check belt joiners for wear or damage that could snag the net. Finally, make sure the knife and cutting surfaces are clean and sharp. These checks are especially important when a baler returns to work after winter storage in Ireland.

Netwrap provides a fast and cost-effective way to bind round bales. It requires fewer bale revolutions than twine, helping reduce wrapping time and baler wear while improving bale shape and crop coverage. Edge-to-edge protection is particularly valuable for Irish silage, where consistent bale shape supports wrapping, handling and storage. Netwrapped bales also offer improved weather resistance for outdoor storage of hay and straw.

Yes. EZ Web® is fully recyclable and can be collected on its own or together with Stretchfilm, helping simplify handling at the end of use. Its clean removal from the bale also makes the material easier to prepare for recycling.

EZ Web® is designed to come away from the bale cleanly, with less crop and soil residue left on the material. A light shake can remove remaining crop particles, making separation easier and helping prepare the material for recycling. Cleaner removal supports more practical end-of-use handling and a more efficient recycling process.

EZ Web® is designed for broad application and works with existing feeding systems used for Netwrap or NRF. This makes it a flexible binding option across a wide range of baling applications.

EZ Web® helps cut plastic use by using around two to three times less plastic per bale than NRF and Netwrap. This reduced-material design supports more efficient use of agricultural plastics while maintaining effective bale binding.

Yes. TamaTwine+ HD Prime IMPAX® is available in two formats, including an extended spool option developed for balers such as the Krone Gen 5 and New Holland 1290 HD. Selecting the suitable version helps support reliable feeding and consistent performance on these machines.

TamaTwine+ IMPAX® HD Prime is developed around exceptional length, giving operators more Twine for demanding high-density baling and dependable performance across different balers, crops and conditions.

TamaTwine+ IMPAX® HD Ultimate is focused on maximum strength. Its IMPAX® structure helps absorb the forces generated during baling, supporting high durability and secure knot performance.

Both products are recyclable and designed for broad baler compatibility. The main difference is the priority: HD Prime delivers outstanding length, while HD Ultimate is engineered for the highest strength demands.

TamaTwine+ IMPAX® HD Ultimate is engineered for extremely demanding high-density baling. IMPAX® technology helps absorb shocks and manage the forces placed on the Twine, delivering the strength, durability and knot security needed in tough working conditions.

TamaTwine+ HD Prime IMPAX® combines exceptional Twine length with dependable handling, giving operators more metres per spool for demanding baling work and helping reduce interruptions in difficult conditions.

Large Square Baling
Bale pressure should always be adjusted to suit the crop and its condition. In prolonged hot, dry weather, straw bales can be lighter even when the baler remains on the same pressure setting. In this situation, reducing bale pressure or moving to a heavier Twine can help maintain reliable performance.

For high quality large square silage bales, a few practical points are important. Aim for at least 40 to 50% dry matter (DM) so bales are well formed and fermentation can develop correctly. Reduce Twine box tension as much as practical because friction is generally higher when baling silage than straw. It is also important to remove as much air as possible from the crop and pack enough material into the top of the bale. If needed, reduce forward speed to increase the number of wads per bale and help avoid misshapen bales that can be difficult for an automatic wrapper to handle.

When choosing baler Twine, look beyond the spool size and check the qualities that affect performance in the knotter.

Raw materials
Choose Twine made from consistent, high quality raw materials supplied by approved producers. Poor input materials can lead to inconsistent finished Twine and unreliable baling.

Easy feeding
A stable spool centre helps the Twine unwind freely from the first metres to the last. A larger, well formed centre reduces the chance of the spool collapsing and creating feeding problems.

Smooth Twine profile
Twine should have a consistent shape without kinks that can catch as it travels through the baler and knotter. Smooth feeding helps reduce stops and unnecessary downtime.

Fibrillation
For big bale applications, good fibrillation supports a uniform twist and reliable movement through the knotting system. A well fibrillated Twine helps deliver strong knots and reduces the risk of knot slippage.

Choosing Twine with reliable strength, smooth feeding and consistent construction helps reduce avoidable stops and knotting problems. The result is a more predictable baling process and better use of time in the field.

The Easy Feed design allows the Twine to unwind smoothly from the beginning of the spool through to the end, helping reduce feeding issues and keep baling work moving efficiently.

High Twine strength helps the knot remain secure under load. This reduces the risk of broken bales, crop loss and interruptions during handling or storage.

Uniform Twine construction helps it run consistently through the baler and knotter. Fewer feeding variations mean smoother operation, less downtime and better productivity during baling.
