Silage rollers

Silage roller SILO KOMPAKT

Silage roller for the best compaction performance in the bunker silo

Powerful feed harvesters are filling large loading and push-off wagons at ever-increasing speed. The logistics chain is therefore becoming increasingly time-critical. In order to ensure that careful compaction takes place, suitable tools must be used for silage compaction. The MAMMUT SILO KOMPAKT silage roller provides rapid compaction of the distributed feed with an optimal depth effect. This not only increases the efficiency in the harvest chain, but also ensures the quality of the feed and the associated economic success.

Uniform compaction

With the MAMMUT silage roller, it is ensured that the amount of feed brought in is ideally compacted right up to the edges in just a few passes. The well thought-out design of the discs results in a high point load and therefore homogeneous compaction down to the lower area of the distributed feed layer.

Less loss of feed

The SILO KOMPAKT silage roller guarantees the best compaction performance thanks to its optimal depth effect. This effective silo compaction for both grass and maize silage prevents incorrect fermentation and avoids feed losses.

Higher efficiency and safety

Many factors play a role in ensuring that the harvest chain runs smoothly. The MAMMUT silage roller increases efficiency in the bunker silo by quickly compressing the delivered feed. Thanks to the tightly compacted feed layers, the tractor and the loader wagon can also drive up safely, and the risk of tipping is minimised.

Silage rollers in a new design

In line with the season, MAMMUT presents a new model series of silage rollers SILO KOMPAKT. The technology has been further refined to achieve maximum compaction in the silo and to make the machine adaptable to any size of farm and tractor.

New model: silage roller SILO KOMPAKT

Focus on durability & quality

Reliability and low maintenance are decisive factors in forage harvesting – MAMMUT promises reliable technology for many years. An important advantage of the new model range is the practical tool for easy replacement or adjustment of the slide bearing elements. This ensures that the side shifting of the sliding roller functions well in the long term and that the frame itself is subject to little stress. Large bearing points as well as the powder coating additionally ensure the value retention of the silage roller.

The new SILO KOMPAKT - even more flexible

At the same time as the new design, there are also a few useful additional options that make the SILO KOMPAKT even more flexible: for example, it is now possible to mount additional concrete or magnetite weights directly on the headstock. This increases the total weight of the roller by up to 490 kg, depending on the version, and can also be ideally combined with the ballast weights on the frame. In practice, this means flexible adaptation options for any tractor size. The headstock itself can also be filled with water – for a really high operating weight of the silage roller, a magnetite filling is even optionally available from MAMMUT.

The best feed quality is already ensured in the bunker silo

The following applies in the harvest chain: pay equal attention to all steps in feed production. Conscientious adjustment of the mower, the tedder and the rake is of little use if consistent loading for a clean fermentation process in the bunker silo is neglected. In addition to the correct degree of wilting of the feed substance and many other factors in the feed harvest, the distribution and rolling technology should also fulfil the requirements of the bunker silo. Particularly the compaction process plays an important part after even distribution in the silo: The better the individual layers are compacted, the fewer air inclusions can form and the lower the risk of incorrect fermentation or mould. Efficient rolling technology provides ideal conditions for optimal lactic acid fermentation and significantly increases the palatability of the basic feed. Intensive compaction also promotes stability during fermentation with maize silage. With the SILO KOMPAKT silage roller, MAMMUT is providing maximum compaction and efficiency in the silo. Rigid and hydraulically adjustable models with a width of 2 m, 2.50 m and 3 m guarantee a wide range of possible uses and perfect adaptation to any farm.

High impact power is crucial

A properly coordinated silage making chain increases efficiency in the silo and contributes to having a stable silage fermentation process. The main challenge here is to distribute and compact the delivered amounts of feed as quickly and evenly as possible.

Distribution and compaction in a single step

If the distribution and compaction technology is combined appropriately, the waiting times in the harvest chain are minimised considerably. Even more efficiency is achieved if the silo roller is used in the rear of the tractor in combination with a silo distributor in the front, for example. This means that both the distribution procedure and the rolling procedure can be carried out with just one vehicle.

Even layers of feed in the trench silo

An even compaction effect with a high depth effect is achieved across the entire working width using the SILO KOMPAKT silage roller. This compression, which extends far into the feed, forms the basis for optimal lactic acid fermentation of the grass or maize silage and for high-quality feed in the entire bunker silo.

Maximum and above all homogeneous compaction

The distributed feed is compacted quickly and effectively with the SILO KOMPAKT silage roller. The diameter of the roller is 940 mm – the 200 mm high discs create a point load and therefore a uniform depth effect of pressure as far as the lower area of the distributed feed layer. The distance between the discs is approx. 195 mm, and guarantees consistent compaction work without feed accumulation in the gaps. Notches directly on the edge of the disc allow the feed to slide off again perfectly, and prevent it from gathering along the edges. Tip: During ensiling, it should be ensured that the individual layers are not higher than approx. 30 cm. Depending on the feed structure, compaction decreases as the layer gets higher, even if the technique is perfect. It is also advisable to use a silage distributor to distribute the unloaded feed homogeneously throughout the entire bunker silo and to consistently avoid air pockets.

Individually adjustable overall weight

Die Silagewalze SILO KOMPAKT zeichnet sich nicht nur durch ihr durchdachtes Design aus, sie punktet außerdem mit ihrem individuell anpassbarem Gesamtgewicht. Sowohl der Walzkörper selber, als auch der Rahmen können über Füllschrauben ganz einfach mit Wasser befüllt werden. Zwei Schwallbleche im Inneren des Walzkörpers verhindern hier ungewolltes Schwappen während des Einsatzes. For an additional increase in the total weight, it is possible to fill the massive headstock with water, sand or gravel – this also allows the weight of the silage roller to be optimally adapted to a wide range of tractor sizes. As an additional option, MAMMUT also offers a magnetite filling for the headstock, which can be supplied separately on request.

Additional weights

The ballast weights available as accessories increase the roller weight and can be mounted either on the headstock or on the frame of the silage roller. Equipped with all the optional additional weights, the 3 m wide silage roller already weighs an impressive 3,600 kg.

For even more comfort – hydraulic side shift

In the 2.50 and 3.00 m wide versions, the SILO KOMPAKT silo roller is also available as a hydraulically shifted model. The roller can be conveniently moved 500 mm to the right or left with a hydraulic cylinder. This enables safe and comfortable work, particularly at on the edges and the silo walls, since the towing vehicle no longer has to be driven to the outermost edge. The use of the SILO KOMPAKT silage roller makes the tractor driver’s job considerably easier, since the feed is compacted over the entire track width of the roller, and the compaction time is significantly reduced.

Long service life – high value retention

Machine breakdowns must be avoided at harvest time, since time delays reduce the quality of the feed. The SILO KOMPAKT silage roller is designed for the extreme loads and ensures that the technology retains its value for a long time with its powder-coated frame and roller body.

Side roll-off protection

The rollers mounted on the side of the frame protect the silo wall. Thanks to high-quality components and well thought-out craftsmanship, the value of every MAMMUT machine is guaranteed for a long time. Over 25 years of experience in the field of silage technology speaks for itself.
