One of the more well-known facts about baling wire is that
it has a huge amount of potential usages. In an agricultural setting, it is
often called farm wire due to its diverse applications on the farm and field,
from mending fences to binding hay bales to even supporting loose mufflers. In
industrial settings it is used to bind together cardboard, paper, metal
sheeting, or other recyclable materials. This may lead you to think that any
type of baling wire can be used for any type of fix, but this is not always the
case. Often you need the right baling wire for the job.
You need
to bundle together commodities
Whether you need to group, compact and keep together
plastic, paper, cardboard, metal, or clothing you need a flexible baling wire
that can be cut to whichever length you need. Single loop bale ties are the
most commonly used baling wire for this purpose, and for good reason. They can
be cut to almost any length the buyer requires, which also makes them perfect
for a buyer with very specific requirements.
Single loop bale ties typically come in a variety of gauges
(from 11 to 14) and typically range from 9 to 24 feet in length. The right
gauge often depends on the equipment you have access to, and it is always
recommended to find out the specific gauge your machine requires. If you use a
different size to what your machine needs, your baling can become quite an
arduous process.
Single loop bale ties can come in different types, some of
which will suit your gauge requirements better or the specific baling process
you want to undertake, whether it’s vertical, horizontal, auto tie, or two ram
baling. For example, green bale ties are perfect for vertical baling of
recyclables. Galvanized single loop bale ties are perfect for vertical,
down-stroke and horizontal balers that need protection from corrosive
substances and external damage.
You need to
store commodities of different sizes or in challenging climates
If you need to store different sizes or types of cardboard,
plastic, metal, or other commodities then you need a resilient baling wire with
high tensile strength and a lot of gauge options. Black annealed wire is the perfect
choice for this requirement. This wire is wax coated with individually annealed
strands and means it is able to withstand even the harshest climates. These
wires aren’t brittle, have increased flexibility, and a maintained atomic
structure and are perfect for outdoor purposes.
You
frequently need to bundle tightly compressed packages for shipping, storage or
sale
If you need a wire that is incredibly strong, able to
withstand a lot of pressure and lasts a long time, you need galvanized stem
wire. It is high tensile, with an elongation of 8% and able to be used by
auto-tie, two-ram, and even double-ram balers, as well as being able to
withstand coiling during packaging. This wire is used by many for economic
benefits. The steel inside the wire is galvanized in zinc to help it withstand
against corrosion and provide steel protection for well over 100 years.
