R&D Trials
Tama R&D Trials Did you know, every year, the Tama team head into paddocks across the country, trialling and testing new crop baling products before they hit the Australian market? Working alongside baling contractors and farmers, the product trials give Tama a unique understanding of the end-user challenges they may be facing and supports their business in providing the best products possible. The trialling of new products or making our current products even better is what Tama is committed too. The last 2 years we have been even more active in the field-testing Twine, Netwrap & Stretchfilm with over 100 days in field just the last 12 months alone. We have been testing recycled content stretchfilm, recycled content high density twine and of course our yearly net wrap trials which includes recycled content product, new raw materials, competitors and more. All of these products have minimum of one weathering site where bales are stored for up to two years checking the durability in Australian conditions. It is so important we test the products here in country to ensure they provide the best quality fodder you can make. It is Tama’s commitment to supplying the best performing and most sustainable products available on the market today. Tama Oceania Regional Technical Manager, Darrell Butler, says, “It’s great to be able to see new products coming through the pipeline, from initial concept to launch. We are ensuring products are specifically designed for the Australian market, which has some of the harshest conditions in the world. It gives our team and our customers the trust that our product will work without issue.” With the largest trials in the Southern Hemisphere and thousands of bales pumped out every year, it’s no wonder Tama is the preferred partner of crop baling solutions for fodder producers looking for performance and reliability at baling time. All this R&D has led to our industry leading twine product TamaTwine+ Impax being released onto the market in 2023. More than 500,000 bales across Australia have been produced using Impax twine during the past 3 years during the testing and in-season. This twine product is changing the baling landscape.
