"We are convinced that SHREDLAGE® delivers a clear benefit to the customer. By taking over this well-known brand, we are now adding the finishing touches to our technology concept as international market leaders for self-propelled forage harvesters", explains Hermann Lohbeck, responsible for the Forage Harvesting Division on the CLAAS Executive Board.
The technology known under the brand name SHREDLAGE® is a pioneering form of maize silage treatment used by increasing numbers of dairy cattle farmers in regions lacking in grassland. The method involves chopping the maize into unusually long sections of 26 to 30 millimetres. Downstream treatment using the SHREDLAGE® cracker technology is key to the entire process.
