Why Do We Need A Square Baler To Baler Rice Straw, But A Round Baler To Baler Silage?

1. Why rice straw is suitable for square bale balers?

1) High density, easy to transport and store

The rice straw is dry, light and fluffy. The square bale baler compresses the straw into a regular cuboid through high pressure, which has high density, greatly reduces the volume, and reduces transportation and storage costs.

2) Strong stacking stability

The square bales have clear edges and corners, can be stacked tightly into piles, and are not easy to roll and collapse. They are suitable for long-term open-air storage or mechanized loading and unloading, especially to meet the needs of large-scale industries such as straw power plants and paper mills.

2. Why silage is suitable for round bale balers

1) Maintain fermentation quality

Silage has a high moisture content. The round bale baler forms a cylindrical bale through rotation and rolling. The outer layer is wrapped with a breathable film, and an anaerobic environment is formed inside, which is conducive to lactic acid bacteria fermentation and avoids mildew.

2) Reduce nutrient loss

The round bale has a moderate compactness, which not only ensures sealing, but also avoids excessive squeezing that causes juice loss, and retains feed protein and sugar.

3) Convenient for pasture access

The round bale can be rolled and moved, and the pasture can directly remove the film for feeding without secondary cutting, which is suitable for decentralized feeding scenarios.
