Optimal roughage with lasagne silage from Easy Silage
With an Easy Silage cover system, dairy farmers store their roughage optimally by using a sealing cover and water system that perfectly seals the roughage. By quickly and properly sealing the roughage, it can perfectly convert to a high-quality product.
We promote the lasagne principle, which allows a constant and balanced ration to be fed to cows throughout the year. Without ration fluctuations, cows are healthier, the result more milk yield and less (vet) costs.
Covering or opening a trench silo can be done by 1 person. Our smart cover systems are equipped with self-correcting steering, fully automatic with a remote control with battery energy, powered by solar panels.
We are also happy to sit down with you to provide you with advice, feed capacity calculations, permit procedures, and the choice of an Easy Silage product that suits you.
1) Gantry system
The gantry system is suitable for silos up to a width of 26 meters. The machine drives alongside the silo walls.

After you have ensiled, sealing the trench silo is a simple job. You roll the tarp over the roughage. Then you connect the cover sheet to the fill overflow water system. You turn on the water pump with automatic level control and about an hour later the cover sheet is filled with water. The water system ensures even filling of the water hoses.
2) Gantry system with change roller
With this cover system for trench silos, covering roughage is done in no time and without heavy labor.
This innovative system was developed for dairy farmers with multiple silos. Here we assume silos with a maximum width of 17 meters, where the farmer can use 1 machine to simultaneously operate the silo where he is unloading and the silo where he wishes to ensile. The space between the silos should be min. 1.5 meters, so that the covering machine can drive along the silo walls. The machine is height adjustable, allowing you to change the roller and also drive under the roller where necessary and/or practical. For silos with a maximum width of 15 meters, you can also choose the option to adjust the machine in width (up to max. 2.5 meters).
During the ensiling process, the machine is driven from the silo from which feed is being fed to the silo in which ensiling is taking place. Each silo has a change roller, which is picked up or taken down by the machine. By rolling the roller on the feed silo far enough away, you can continue feeding during ensiling.
3) Rail system
The rail system rides in a channel on the silo wall. This is mounted with special brackets on the wall, for this the poured walls of the silo must be min. 20 cm thick. There is also the possibility to adjust the machine in height, so that you can drive under the roller during ensilage. Covering the silage is done in the same way as described for the gantry system.
Nowadays, many livestock farmers choose to change their silage process and enlarge their trench silos. The various grass cuts are ensiled on top of each other. The cover system covers the silage easily and quickly. The sealing roller lying on the cut surface of the forage provides a tight seal and prevents the tarp from blowing up. The sealing roller also ensures that no heating occurs. As a result, you will have consistently optimal forage quality throughout the feeding period.
4) Nicolaes D.drive
The entire power unit of the machine is completely detachable, and can be used for multiple portals.
The unit (dolly) is equipped with all the components needed to drive and control the machine. This dolly is easy to disconnect and connect, by 1 person, and easy to move from one silo to another.
The machine is standard equipped with the unique Easy Silage drive system and steering correction. With 1 power unit it is possible to drive/control multiple machines (different widths).
