HDPE Silo Gravel Bag

Reusable UV-stabilized HDPE silo gravel bag for weighting silage film and silo netting, offered in 27 × 120 cm and 25 × 100 cm sizes.

Product overview

HDPE silo gravel bags, also called silage weighting bags, are woven from 100% virgin HDPE with UV stabilizer for outdoor use. Filled with gravel or sand, they secure silage covers and help block oxygen infiltration.

The flexible elongated bag follows seams and curved bunker sidewalls more closely than waste tires. Integrated handles make the bags easier to move, arrange and store.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HDPE silo gravel bag used for?

Filled gravel bags are placed on silage film and silo net to secure edges, seams, and exposed areas. Their flexible shape follows bunker edges and helps maintain even pressure on the covering system to limit air entry.

What material is the gravel bag made from and how long can it be used?

The bag is woven from virgin HDPE with UV stabilizer for outdoor use. Under suitable filling, handling, cleaning, and storage conditions, it is designed for repeated seasonal use and can provide a service life of at least five years.

What standard gravel-bag sizes are available?

Common sizes include 25 x 100 cm and 27 x 120 cm, with unit weights typically within 80-130 g per piece. Size, weight, color, and logo can be discussed according to the order requirement.

What should be used to fill the gravel bags?

Use smooth 6-10 mm gravel or clean river sand that will not cut the woven fabric. Do not fill the bag completely; leaving about one-third of the volume unfilled keeps it flexible so it can follow seams and uneven surfaces.

How are gravel bags used with silo net?

Lay the silage film first, cover it with the protective silo net, and place filled gravel bags along the perimeter, seams, transition points, and feed-out edge. The net helps separate the bags from the film and reduces the risk of localized film damage.

Why use gravel bags instead of waste tires?

Gravel bags avoid exposed steel wire, reduce standing-water pockets, create more continuous pressure along seams, and are easier to move, stack, clean, and store. The actual sealing result still depends on correct cover placement and bag spacing.

Can silo gravel bags be reused and how should they be stored?

Yes. After the season, empty the bags if required, clean off silage residue, allow them to dry, inspect the handles and seams, and store them away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.

Can the size, color, and logo be customized?

Yes. OEM and ODM options include size, fabric weight, color, and logo printing, subject to order quantity, artwork, and production confirmation.

What is the MOQ and production lead time?

MOQ: 1000pcs for gravel bags, 1 roll for silo net. Standard lead time is 20–30 working days. Trial orders and rush orders are acceptable.
