Check if any of the metal fingers of the duckbill are in contact with the picker belts. Adjust if needed. Then, confirm front set of wrap floor belts are adjusted and functioning properly.

Unlike the traditional square modules which can be transport only by module trucks, TamaWrap® maintains the module’s round shape with minimum expansion - allowing transport to the gin with various transportation means such as flatbed truck, Stover truck, road train and more.
Recommendations are: Standard Module Truck, Flatbed Truck or a Road Train.

A proper module truck loading and unloading of round modules impacts the ability and reliability of subsequent ginning of these modules. Be sure to share this important information with all truck drivers and use the following check list to verify they have the proper equipment to handle the modules:
Module trucks with 12 bed chains must have inside eight chains replaced with Stover RMS chain to prevent damage to the module plastic wrap.
Module trucks with 11 bed chains must have inside seven chains replaced with Stover RMS chain to prevent damage to the module plastic wrap.
As a final check, nonStover RMS chain is only allowed within 17 in. (43 cm) of module truck inside wall surfaces.
If chain tail wheels are the sprocket style, paddle style with sharp points, or narrower than 2 in. (5 cm), replace with wide smooth paddle style tail wheels.
For moon buggys, enough strands of chains must be replaced to the middle of the width to accommodate a 1.5 m (5 ft.) flat portion of a module, regardless of the side to side placement of the module. As with a module truck, no more than 17 in. (43 cm) of non-Stover RMS chain is allowed from the extreme inside width of the moon buggy to prevent damage to the plastic wrap.
Verify accurate synchronization of truck or moon buggy bed to ground speed per manufacturer’s owner’s manual.
Many module trucks have the chain speed biased to run slightly faster than the ground speed. This is not permissible with round modules and will cause cutting on the underside of the modules during loading and unloading.
Do not attempt to load round modules if not properly staged.
Verify that module group and individual modules have been identified per farmer and gin instructions before loading.
Do not add 2”x 4” boards or other spacers to the troughs in between the module truck bed chains. The spacers will increase the friction between the underside of the module and the truck bed and can cause wrap damage.
Daily inspect for and remove any sharp edges on the module truck side panels or other areas where round modules can contact.
Rubber or steel cleat tracks are highly recommended when handling round modules in wet or sandy conditions.

Proper module staging impacts the ability and reliability of module truck pickup and subsequent ginning. Make sure to follow the proper procedure for staging cotton modules for pickup by properly equipped module trucks or moon buggies. Failure to follow these instructions can adversely affect the integrity of the modules.
Modules should be staged on a high flat surface. Staging on well-defined flat driveways or a flat disked surface is optimal.
When choosing a staging location, ask yourself “Can a module truck retrieve from this location after a significant amount of rain?”
If a module truck tires and/or tracks have to slip to gather the load, damage may occur to the underside of the module due to relative chain slip.
If at all possible do not stage modules on top of rows or beds or internal portion of field where module truck access will be difficult. Modules will take the shape of the surface they are placed on. Setting on beds or uneven surfaces requires digging into the ground with the module truck chain to safely get under the entire surface of the module.

Examine module carefully PRIOR to unwrapping / cutting and remove any and ALL loose pieces of plastic and other potential contaminants.
Gins that cut wrap: Use the Tama Cut Indicator™ to locate the recommended cutting zone (3 feet / 1 meter) from the Tama Cut Indicator™, with the direction of the arrows. Make ONE clean cut across the module, rather than several short cuts. Make certain ALL pieces of wrap are removed after unwrapping/cutting.

Every TamaWrap+® includes 4 RFID tags to provide unique identification to each module. This unique identification enables full traceability of individual modules through harvesting and processing:
With TamaWrap+® technology, you can trace your modules from the field, through the gin’s gateway, scale and yard- to the feeder floor. Tracing allows association of the ginned bale related data - back to the seed cotton module and back to the field. Also, the technology is integrated with John Deere Harvest ID, Cotton Pro and the John Deere Operations Center.

As a general recommendation - Handle the module with care and do not allow the module to drag on the ground or on stalks during staging.
When using spear loaders - Do not allow module to drag on the ground when inserting or withdrawing spears.
When using rear and front loaders - Make sure arms are completely on the ground before opening and closing to avoid “over squeezing".

TamaWrap® Storage Requirements are as follows: Store under roof in an enclosed structure and avoid exposure to sunlight and moisture while stored. Double stacking of pallets is permissible with proper handling equipment. Please note that TamaWrap® is to be used within two seasons.

The recommended lift capacity: 2 tons forklift.

Module trucks: As modules wrapped with TamaWrap® Blue may squat more, when using module trucks module diameter should not exceed 254 CM. Thus, maximum recommended harvester monitor set size is 234 CM, If larger than 254 CM, further reduce the set size.
Insure that recommended chains are used on module trucks. It is HIGHLY recommended to use appropriate chains while using module trucks, in order to minimize the risk of damaged modules and decrease the risk of contamination.
Other trucks: make sure there are no sharp edges or other sharp objects which may cause tears in modules.

The yellow and pink wrap are approximately 21M feet long, part of which is lined with a tacky material.
The blue wrap is held together by adhesive at the tail area only.
The yellow and pink wrap meets the ASABE RMW standard.

Round baling with Netwrap is the most convenient and least expensive way of wrapping your bale. Wrapping with Netwrap reduces costs by being faster than using twine and offers much better protection to the crop than twine ever could.
The main points include:
Less wear and tear on the baler
Fewer revolutions of the bale are needed when net wrapping, dramatically reducing wear and tear on the baler.
Greater speed of operation
Netwrap needs fewer revolutions, reducing the wrapping time and allowing up to 15-20 more bales per hour.
Better coverage on the bale
Net wrapped bales maintain a more uniform shape, making transporting and handling easier, particularly important when wrapping silage bales on an automatic bale wrapper. Bale coverage from edge to edge is also essential when silage wrapping, eliminating air from the bale to ensure better quality forage.
Better weathering capability
Net wrapped bales offer much better weathering capability, allowing outdoor storage and reducing loss from crop wastage.
Easier to remove
Opening a net wrapped bale is a simple and straight-forward operation. The use of net eliminates the difficult and tiresome task of removing baler twine, especially in frosty conditions, and is also less likely to be picked up by livestock or machinery.

When using Round Bale Netwrap, a few moments must be taken to ensure correct preparation of your machine in order to achieve the best results. The most common problems of net splitting, tearing, or fouling on feed rollers arise from the net ‘laddering’, where threads become broken, leading to a running stitch in the net running opposite to the direction of the net, eventually causing the net to separate where the ‘ladder’ has occurred. This can be caused by many different and varying circumstances but will always have the same ‘ladder’ effect.
Check that the area in which the roll sits is free from dirt and debris. Ensure that all metal surfaces the net comes into contact with are free from rust or sharp edges or weld spots (net box sides, spreader bars and rollers etc.), or dried paint ‘lumps’ on any surfaces which could damage the net. Clean up with emery paper if necessary. Also, check that the path for the net to the bale behind the feed mechanism is not dirty or rusty, which could restrict the net’s passage when feeding – often identified by a ‘lump’ of net at the start of the wrapping cycle. This is especially important when starting baling after winter storage.
Ensure the net is threaded correctly. Incorrect feeding of the net will cause incorrect tension being applied, leading to feeding and cutting difficulties which, in turn, will cause problems on subsequent net feed cycles. Where the net is fed through a series of fixed tension bars, always make sure these are clean and polished to avoid excessive friction. Excessive net friction or an uneven surface will cause the net to tear.
Where two rollers are used to feed the net, it is imperative these are correctly aligned and tensioned against one another, to enable the net to feed in evenly and under the correct tension. Incorrectly aligned rollers will produce a corresponding uneven net feed and subsequent cutting action at the end of the wrapping cycle. This will result in poor bale coverage and possible net fouling on the feed rollers at the start of the next cycle. The rollers’ surface should also be closely inspected for abrasions or damage, which could snag the net when feeding.
Ensure the feed rollers are clean of any moisture or residue. Never use an aggressive cleaning agent such as petrol or turpentine to clean rubber rollers.
Always dust rubber rollers down with French chalk or talc powder when loading a new roll of Netwrap, or use anti-static spray to reduce net static when operating. This avoids the net fouling and wrapping around the rollers when feeding in.
Carefully inspect the condition of the belt joiners on variable chamber balers for damage or worn connections, as this will snag the net and cause a tear, which will split the net on the bale.
Make sure the knife or cutting surface is clean and undamaged. Poor cutting action will result in an uneven ‘tail’ to the net, which can become tangled in the rollers and feed mechanism.

This depends upon bale diameter and crop type, Tama has recommendations on how many wraps should be applied, which can be found on the sleeve, in the booklet attached to the roll, and on our website www.tama.co.il.

Tama ‘Zebra pattern’ is an indicator to clearly show one side of the roll from the other, to assist in correct roll loading for baling, and to help identify which way the bale will un-roll when feeding. That’s cutting-edge baling innovation.

No, most baler chambers are between 117cm and 123cm. Tama’s Bale+ netwrap is 1.23m wide and designed to cover the bale from edge to edge, in all round balers, often covering a bit more, and is better than most wider netwraps due to our E2E technology. This is also an enviromental saving.

Original Edge to Edge coverage, from Tama’s Edge to Edge patent and more metres per roll at the same weight as ‘traditional’ netwrap, that means: more bales per roll, less roll changeovers, less rolls needed to store, less plastic used to bale the same number of bales, and a better cost per bale. Tama net is weight optimized but stronger.

The diameter, and width, of all Tama nets will allow it to fit comfortably into the feeding box of all baler types. Tama nets are developed and approved with all the leading OEM’s around the world, to ensure full compatibility.

Raw Materials: ensure that the twine has been produced with raw materials from ISO-approved producers. Poor quality raw materials can lead to poor quality end products. Easy Feed: With some makes of twine, the spool centre may frequently collapse, causing difficulties when attempting to draw the first few hundred metres from the spool. Choosing a twine with a larger diameter centre, that allows the twine to flow freely from the beginning, will eliminate such problems. Kinked Twine A consistent and smooth shape to the twine will eliminate potential ‘hang-ups’ in its path through the baler and the knotter mechanism, reducing costly downtime when baling.

Large Square Baling
Very careful attention should be paid to the bale pressure, depending on the type and condition of the crop being baled. During periods of extended dry and hot weather, for instance, straw bales may be noticeably lighter than during normal conditions, with the baler set to the same bale pressure setting.
In these circumstances, a decrease in pressure setting will overcome this; or, alternatively, a move to the next heavier twine is recommended.
For baling good quality large square silage bales, it is important to follow a few simple guidelines:

Ensure the crop has wilted to a minimum of 40 – 50% dry matter (DM), which will produce well-formed bales as well as excellent fermentation.
Ensure the twine box tension is reduced as much as possible, as twine friction experienced between silage bales during baling is much greater than between straw bales.
Eliminate as much air as possible from the crop when baling, as it is essential that sufficient crop is packed into the top of the bale to avoid misshapen bales being formed, which may be difficult for an automatic bale-wrapper to handle properly. A reduction in forward speed will help to achieve this by increasing the number of wads per bale.

In many cases operators are able to increase their efficiency by making heavier bales using IMPAX Technology twines. Heavier bales reduce the amount of twine consumed during a season, reduce transportation costs and reduce the amount of storage needed to protect the same amount of crop. Please contact your local expert to learn more about how we can hep you make heavier bales and increase your overall efficiency.

Since IMPAX technology twines contain up to 40% more twine in every spool, compared to standard twines, the cost per spool may seem relatively expensive. But don’t forget that each spool can actually make many more bales than standard twines. This is where calculating the cost per 1,000’ metres or cost per square bale is key, to make a fair comparison. If you need assistance, please contact one of our Tama Assist terrtory managers and we’ll be happy to help.

IMPAX Technology twines provide noticeable advantages to any Large Square Baling operation. Due to the twine’s reduced diameter, we are able to provide many more meters per spool, which increases the number of bales an operator can make with each baler load of twine. The smaller diameter of the twine also reduces common tying issues experienced in the field, while reducing the wear and tear on the tying system components in the baler. Couple this with a large reduction in the amount of plastic used per bale or per season, you are helping to reduce your carbon footprint in your own operation.
