The hay baling machine can wrap the crushed hay, silage or grass into bundles that is applied to feed animals as forge. But how to store these bundles so as that they can be used for a long time?
If there is a time interval between production and use, it is necessary to store straw bundles processed by hay baling machine. According to the moisture and use of the straw, it can be divided into dry storage and wet storage. On the basis of storage environments, it can be divided into outdoor storage and indoor storage.
Store according to the moisture difference
건조 보관
건식보관이란 짚을 보관하기 전에 자연적으로 또는 인공적으로 건조시키는 것을 말한다. 수분 함량을 낮추어 미생물의 성장을 억제하고 셀룰로오스 분해 효소 및 박테리아의 활성을 감소시킬 수 있습니다. 그러나 작물짚을 잘 보존하려면 습한 환경에서 미생물이 다시 활동하는 것을 방지하기 위해 저장 환경을 지속적으로 건조시켜야 합니다.
습식 보관
Wet storage refers to directly store the straw after harvesting from field, and usually it is stored in sealed cellars. For wet storage, straw is mainly stored at low pH (<4.5) and low oxygen concentration too avoid microbial degradation and dry matter loss.
When using dry storage, the environment must be dry and the storage conditions are severe. However, wet storage can inhibit microbial growth and reduce energy consumption. Wet storage does not require drying treatment, so it greatly improves efficiency and timeliness, reducing the risk of fire.
Store according to different environments
옥외 보관
It is the easiest method to store the straw processed by the hay baling machine. The total moisture content should be less than 30% during long-term stacking. When the maximum stacking height reaches 8m and the storage time is less than 2 months, it can effectively avoid spontaneous combustion.
In order to prevent moisture, sometimes the bottom is erected with wood or bricks for 10 to 15 ㎝. When stacking, pay attention to fill in the middle to prevent empty inner side to trigger loose. Cover straw with rainproof cloth to prevent rain or from washing away.
Store according to different environment
실내 보관
일반적으로 건조창고 또는 환기창고를 사용합니다. 빨대의 수분 함량은 12%에서 15% 사이에서 조절할 수 있습니다. 보관 위치는 차량 진입을 허용해야 합니다. 이러한 환경에서는 빨대 손실이 적지만 비용이 높고 운송이 번거롭습니다. 또한, 보관기간 동안 불규칙한 점검 및 유지관리가 필요합니다.
In addition, a perfect storage location should have a good drainage system, no water accumulation, and it is easy parking. In addition, it it needs to be close to farms and roads with convenient water and electricity.
After wrapping by a processional hay baling machine, if you want store your straw bundles for a long time, it is necessary to know the above knowledge!
