The 480-kg sleeve bale is designed for large-scale dairies and offer a number of advantages for large-scale end-users over smaller export bales. The larger unit size allows rapid unloading and stacking in customers’ warehouses and the larger weights are appropriate for dairies and distributors who mix hays in TMR mixers.
Hay is compressed and never chopped or mixed. Since all hay comes from a single source, leaf-to-stem ratios are uniform throughout the bale and throughout the container. Units are extremely stable and stackable in the warehouse and, except for a few straps, there is nothing to discard.
