A Kenyan dairy farmer improved silage efficiency by using a hay baler wrapper of Shuliy machinery with automatic operation and high capacity. The machine reduced labor, enhanced bale density, and minimized feed loss, resulting in better silage quality and increased farm productivity for sustainable dairy operations.
Customer Background: A Growing Dairy Farm in Kenya
A dairy farm owner in Kenya was facing increasing pressure to improve feed preservation efficiency. With a herd of cattle relying heavily on consistent, high-quality silage, traditional manual methods were no longer sufficient. The customer needed a reliable hay baler wrapper solution to reduce labor costs, minimize feed waste, and ensure year-round forage supply.
After evaluating several options, the farmer decided to invest in a compact and efficient hay baler wrapper tailored for small to medium-scale dairy operations.
Hay Baler Wrapper Configuration and Key Parameters
Based on the farm’s requirements and local conditions (including stable electricity supply), we recommended an electric-driven hay baler wrapper with the following specifications:
- Модель: 55-52
- Power Supply: 220V, 60Hz, 3-phase
- Motor Power: 5,5 кВт
- Bale Size: Φ550 × 520 mm
- Мощность: 60–65 bales/hour (equivalent to 5–6 tons/hour)
- Bale Weight: 65–100 kg per bale
- Density: 450–500 kg/m³
- Film Wrapping Layers: 2–6 adjustable
- Film Consumption: Approx. 2.6 kg per ton
- Wrapping Motor Power: 1.1–3 kW
The machine is equipped with a PLC control system, enabling automatic counting, wrapping, and cutting, which significantly improves operational efficiency.
Why This Hay Baler Wrapper Machine Was the Right Choice?
1. High Efficiency for Daily Silage Production
The machine allows the farmer to process large volumes of forage quickly. With up to 65 bales per hour, it meets the daily feeding requirements of a growing dairy herd.
2. Compact Design for Farm Use
Its compact structure makes it suitable for farms with limited space, a common situation in many Kenyan dairy operations.
3. Strong Bale Density for Better Fermentation
The high-density bales improve anaerobic conditions, leading to better silage fermentation and higher nutritional value for cattle.
4. Automated Operation Reduces Labor
With PLC automation, the farmer reduced manual labor significantly. Tasks such as bale counting, wrapping, and cutting are fully automated.
Supporting Materials Supplied
To ensure smooth operation, the customer also received:
- High-strength baling twine
- Durable wrapping film (white and green options)
- Net wrap for enhanced bale stability
- Essential spare parts and maintenance tools
This complete package ensures the machine can be used immediately upon arrival.
Results After Installation
After putting the hay baler wrapper into operation, the farmer reported:
- Improved silage quality and longer storage time
- Reduced feed loss during storage
- Lower labor costs
- Increased overall farm productivity
The investment quickly translated into better herd nutrition and higher milk output.
