Silage rollers SILO KOMPAKT

Silage rollers 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 rollers provide 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 evective 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 silo 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.

Your benefits at a glance:

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

The SILO KOMPAKT silage roller is not only characterised by its well thought-out design, it also scores points with its individually adjustable overall weight. Both the roller body itself and also the frame can easily be filled with water via the filler screws. Two baffles inside the roller body prevent undesirable sloshing around during use. To increase the overall weight, it is also possible to fill the solid headstock with water, sand or gravel – the weight of the silo roller can also be optimally adapted to different tractor sizes in this way.

Additional weights

The ballast weights which are available as accessories increase the rolling weight by an additional 260 kg, and can be fitted directly to the mounting frame. Equipped with these optional additional weights, the 3 m wide silage roller already weighs an impressive 2.900 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.

Frame guided by slide bearings

In all hydraulically shiftable models of the SILO KOMPAKT, the frame is guided by slide bearings – which not only makes the work low maintenance, but also enables long, service-free use of the silo roller.

Optional accessories for every requirement

“Particularly when compacting free-standing silo heaps without walls, it is often a challenge to build up the edges firmly and evenly and to secure them without the risk of the roller tractor tipping over. The side edge compactor, which is available as an accessory, provides help here.

Lighting package: Safety on the road

The optional street lighting system, which is available for all models of the SILO KOMPAKT, ensures more comfort and, above all, safety on the road.

Increased total weight

Anyone who wants to ballast their silo roller even more heavily, can equip the device with the ballast weights which are available as accessories, increasing the overall weight by an additional 260 kg.

“We would be pleased to advise you on this topic and are sure to find the right solution for your company.”
