TamaWrap Blue for cotton

We’re happy to introduce Tama Blue, our latest innovative and cost effective, wrap for cotton modules.

  • IDENTICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN COMPARISONS TO PREMIUM YELLOW AND PINK WRAPS:
    • Wrap length, width and thickness
    • RFID tags per wrap
    • Tama Cut Indicator
    • Wraps per roll
    • Rolls per pallet
    • Developed, design, produced, and fully supported by Tama
  • SIGNIFICANT COST REDUCTION
    In order to achieve this significant cost reduction, some of the materials were changed, thus TamaWrap® Blue can be more susceptible to damage due to less robust construction than TamaWrap® Premium. Please carefully review the below recommendations, to minimize the risk of cotton contamination. Learn more >>

Over the Edge Coverage

Wrap goes over the edge to minimize cotton waste and exposure to rainfall, and holds tight the shoulders of the round module.

UV radiation damage Protection
UV Protection

Modules wrapped with TamaWrap® can be left outside for a period of up to 6 months.

RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Every wrap includes RFID tags to provide the capability to track the individual module through harvesting and processing, all integrated with the electronic systems of the 7760.

Roll ID
Identification

Each roll has its own ID number located inside the core, and on the leading edge of the first wrap.
Each TamaWrap® has a unique serial number, located on the metallic label of the wrap.

Installation Mark

Every core is marked on its left hand side by black dots on the core and a label inside the core, to assist correct installation.

Gin Friendly

The TamaWrap® concept eliminates the constant maintenance and cost of the tarp. A savings in the production cost of the ginning process.

TamaWrap® is recyclable.

Z–LOCK system

Tama’s unique Z-LOCK system provides 4 major benefits:

  1. The Z-LOCK system connects and separates each individual wrap on a roll, so the roll is made of 24 “ready to use” wraps.
  2. The Z-LOCK system assures the next wrap is ready to be fed correctly.
  3. The tapered structure maximizes the durability of the tail in windy conditions.
  4. Two types of specially designed adhesive secure the tail of a wrapped module in tough conditions and minimize the risk of cotton contamination.

Handling Recommendations:

  • General recommendation: Handle with care and do not allow the module to drag on the ground or on stalks during staging.
  • Spear loaders: Do not allow module to drag on the ground when inserting or withdrawing spears.
  • Rear Back and front loaders: Make sure arms are completely on the ground before opening and closing to avoid “over squeezing".

Transportation Recommendations:

As modules wrapped with Blue wrap may squat more, please follow the below recommendations:

  • Module trucks:
    • Module diameter should not exceed 100 inches (254 CM). Thus, maximum recommended harvester monitor set size is 92”, since TamaWrap® Blue may squat more than TamaWrap® Premium. If larger than 100”, further reduce the set size.
    • Insure that recommended chains are used on module trucks.
  • Other trucks:
    • make sure there are no sharp edges or other sharp objects which may cause tears in modules.

Unwrapping Recommendations:

  • Extra care while unwrapping modules at the Gin is required!
  • Examine module carefully PRIOR to unwrapping / cutting, and remove any and ALL loose pieces of plastic and other potential contaminants.
  • Gins which cut wraps:
    • Use the Tama Cut Indicator to locate the recommended cutting zone (3 feet / 1 meter) from the Tama Cut Indicator, with the directions of the arrows).
    • Make ONE clean cut across the module, rather than several short cuts.
  • Make sure you removed ALL pieces of wrap AFTER unwrapping / cutting.
