Which Baling Wire Is Best for Your Baler?

Check now

When operating a baler, do you consider the question, "Is the baling wire I'm using suitable for my baler?" This is an essential question to consider. Using inappropriate baling wire can lead to decreased machine performance, increased safety risks, or failure to achieve the expected packaging results. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly assess and confirm the compatibility of the baling wire.

Perhaps you have recently invested in a baler, or you have been using one for some time but are unsure which type of wire is best suited for your machine. Don't worry, we are here to help you.

FOR VERTICAL, SINGLE RAM BALERS

These are the most common types of balers used for packaging  cardboard, plastic, textiles, or other packaging materials. From distribution centers and manufacturing factories to warehouses, recycling facilities, and hardware stores, these balers utilize single- loop baling wire.

Single-loop baling wire typically comes in two types of metal wires: galvanized wire and black annealed wire. Galvanized baling wire is silver and shiny, resembling chain-link fences. It is clean but has the potential to damage the machine. Black annealed baling wire is black, offers better flexibility, but can be a bit greasy and may rust when exposed to the natural environment.

However, there is now a solution to address these issues. Judin Group's plastic baling wire is an optimized choice. It provides comparable strength, flexibility, and reliability to traditional single-loop baling wire while avoiding issues such as machine damage, greasiness, and rust. This plastic baling wire is a clean, durable, and easy-to-handle alternative that can meet various packaging needs.

FOR AUTO &#; TIE BALERS

The next level includes auto-tie machines. They typically use conveyor belts or pneumatic systems for continuous feeding without the need for manual strapping. These machines can use 40kg plastic baling wire for auto-tie, with most machines requiring 8 to 10 wire coils at a time.

Judin Group's plastic baling wire has proven to be an extremely reliable choice, with a high tensile strength of 6,000N and 15% unidirectional elongation at break, as well as excellent elongation properties and a unique square design for baling a wide range of items. Whether placed on the core shaft of the machine or on a nearby stand after center punching, our plastic baling lines perform packaging tasks consistently and reliably.

FOR THE Horizontal Baler

Top-tier balers, such as double-column piston balers or open-door horizontal balers, use packaging wire on posts or carriers. These machines are widely used and can quickly switch between different materials.

Double-column piston balers utilize high-strength plastic baling wire, requiring only one plastic baling wire coil per operation. The coil sizes range from 10kg to 235kg and all contain 4mm*4mm wires. The tensile strength of this wire ranges from 145,000 to 170,000 psi.

On the other hand, open-door horizontal balers can use 8 or 10 plastic baling reels at a time. These plastic baling wire reels are usually placed on a rack or stand near the machine. Through our unique process, the weight of the plastic baling wire is controlled to 0.018 kg per meter. This ensures stability and consistency from one packing operation to the next.

Kaiyuan are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

According to our customers' feedback and market research, most of the baling machines in the market use 4mm*4mm (0. inches) baling wire, so we mainly provide this specification of plastic baling wire, of course, if you need other wire diameters, we can provide you with customized services.

STILL NOT SURE? Contact us at any time!

Choosing the right wire for your baler is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency and optimal results. We understand that despite providing guidance, you may still have questions or uncertainties about which packaging wire is best suited for your specific needs. That's where we excel.

Additionally, our plastic baling wire are compatible with most balers on the market, ensuring a wide range of applicability to the baling needs of different industries. Whether it's light industry, heavy industry or agricultural products, our plastic baling wires offer superior performance and reliability.

Wired for Baling

Bale ties and baler wire are much more important to the recycling process than we may realize.

Without compacting recycled material into dense, easily stacked bundles, recyclers might not be able to move their materials easily and cost effectively. That&#;s why most recyclers use baling systems. A baler can be used in most secondary commodity markets, including paper, cardboard, plastic, and ferrous and nonferrous metals and some plastics. Recycling equipment like a baler helps efficiently organize, store, and prepare scrap for recycling.&#;

Perhaps just as important is the baling wire used to tie and secure the bales. Baling wire safely and neatly secures bales of recyclable material before it is moved on through the recycling process, preventing the bales from coming apart. 

Baling wire may be taken for granted, but it&#;s essential and vital to the entire recycling process. 

A plethora of types

There are a variety of different types and styles of baling wire used in the industry, and various prices to go with them. Some have black annealed finishes and others have galvanized or corrosion-resistant finishes, depending on the need and application. A coating may be used to adjust the surface properties of the wire to guard against corrosion, improve aesthetic appearance, and improve adhesion. Wire thicknesses and diameters are available in a range (typically 10, 11, 12, 14 and 14.5 gauges), and are selected based on the materials with which the wire will be used.

It&#;s important to consider your specific application when choosing the type of wire you need, emphasizes Jason Ramsey, President of Crawfordsville, Ind.-based Midwest Bale Ties, a leading manufacturer of bales ties and baling wire in the Midwest. Family-owned and operated, Midwest Bale Tie provides an assortment of quality wire products made from the best American-made raw materials. Its products are made from 100-percent U.S. steel, in 8- to 22- ft. lengths, and custom lengths. 

&#;There are basically three types of baling systems: vertical or horizontal manual balers, auto-tie balers and two ram balers,&#; Ramsey says. &#;Each requires a different wire product. Manual balers use single-loop bale ties, auto-tie balers take 50- or 100-lb. coils of wire and two ram balers require high tensile baling wire on a stem/stump.&#;

Often coated in zinc to provide excellent cathodic protection, galvanized wire is sometimes referred to as &#;clean wire,&#; and tends to be a preferred choice because it resists corrosion and outdoor storage conditions. Black annealed wire is quite pliable, which is convenient when some baled materials re-expand after unloading from the baler, so having a little extra flexibility can help prevent the wire from failing. Lightly coated with oil to resist corrosion, black annealed wire works well indoors but can sometimes rust when the bales are used and stored outdoors. &#;It&#;s important to consider your specific application when choosing the type of wire you need,&#; Ramsey adds.

There are also low, medium and high carbon versions, and wire with uniform strength and elasticity, which reduces breakage and machine downtime. When the wire is produced via a metal drawing process, its properties change in terms of strength, ductility, fatigue, and shape. The combination of these elements results in a broad range of products. 

Having the right size and specifications allows the customer to not over buy too large a size, Ramsey explains. &#;Baling wire is priced by weight. If a customer has too small of a product, they may have to use more of the lighter ties, which could be economically inefficient.&#;
