Baler Twine: Choosing UV Resistant Baling Twine

When purchasing baling twine, it is crucial to consider several features carefully. Of these features, the most crucial are:

Reyenvas, part of the Armando Alvarez Group that produces baling twines, recently released a video that demonstrated their efficacy when used with various machines. A YouTuber conducted tests using Max2Twine, PowerPress and Black Label twines from Reyenvas in his baler to conduct their test.

UV Resistance

UV resistant baler twine has quickly become a mainstay in agriculture as a solution to organise and store livestock feed in bales more effectively, while giving animals more space to graze. It is also used as an inexpensive replacement for metal wire fences – saving both farmers time and money while providing greater safety for animals since there are no loose parts present.

UV resistant baler twineProducing high-quality baling twine requires considering several key aspects, including colour, resistance to sun radiation (depending on where it will be used), tenacity and elasticity as well as UV protection. Furthermore, considering both meter weight ratio and coil diameter will ensure maximum performance using state-of-the-art machinery available.

Quality baling twine should be soft on your hands but strong enough to withstand pressure of baler machines that can reach up to 3,000 pounds per square inch. Furthermore, it must be treated to prevent rot, mildew and rodent infestation – this is why we only use high quality synthetic and sisal baling twine made of durable polypropylene fibre which has been treated against these threats as well as being designed to withstand the rigorous operation of baler machines for easy use and long life span.

Strength

Strength is one of the key characteristics a baler twine should possess, measured by its tensile strength – how much kilogram force an untied twine can withstand before breaking. A strong twine allows for increased density when baling hay or crops while simultaneously reducing machinery wear.

When choosing a baling twine for your operation, knot strength and tensile strength should be key considerations. Large square balers require higher knot strengths; Pritchett offers plastic twine with 350 up to 750 knot strengths specifically geared for these larger balers.

Another key consideration is the quality of UV resistant baler twine. High-grade twine should be constructed from tough polypropylene fibres treated to resist rot, mildew, and rodent infestation. Furthermore, its antiabrasion protection reduces machine wear.

Quality twine can help save both time and money in the field. For instance, high-grade twine helps decrease netwrap use – an expensive yet cumbersome solution – which in turn saves both time and effort in use and removal.

Baling twine has many uses beyond making makeshift lead reins for horses and livestock. Additionally, it can be used for patching fences and securing tarps over equipment as well as serving as an inexpensive towel bar in barn bathrooms!

Softness

Softness in baling twine is an important characteristic. It allows for better knot gripping capabilities and less machine wear; moreover, soft twine allows higher baler densities thereby decreasing costs per bale.

Runnage and fibrillation determine the softness of twine, determining its flexibility as well as how well it holds knots. A high quality twine will have good fibrillation that ensures strong knots that withstand rough handling without suffering damage during baling.

Bales are an integral component of any haying operation and selecting how you’ll wrap them is one of the most essential decisions you must make for optimal yields and bale quality. Your decision between twine or netwrap depends on a number of factors such as how long they will be stored before being harvested for their harvested value.

Jerald and J.J. Pritchett of O’Neill, Nebraska own and operate Pritchett Twine and Netwrap LLC, offering an array of baling twine, netwrap, and other supplies needed for haying. Their professional staff understand haying thoroughly and can help you select which baling twine best meets the needs of your farm – either by phone, email or visiting their shop in O’Neill! They welcome visitors with any inquiries via phone call, email or in person visit.

Stability

Balance between strength and softness isn’t the only consideration: stability also matters to ensure UV resistant baler twine holds its shape during use. Spool-shaped twine that can fit easily in baler’s twine guides is more likely to stay put during operation and allow its operator to work more smoothly with the machine without disrupting correct winding within its spool.

According to this invention, polypropylene twine can be prepared from one or more strips or ribbons of unidirectionally oriented, predominantly isotactic polypropylene film that are internally lubricated. Once untwisted into twine with an optimal twist rate of 11.5 turns per foot, resulting in twine that has an approximate diameter range between 0.08 to 0.15 inch and weight between 0.4-2 grams per 10 inches.

Unipak provides high-quality baler twine designed to fit all square and mini round balers. Ideal for baling hay, pine straw and other applications requiring baling twine, this premium grade option boasts resistance against rot, abrasion and oil as well as UV stability that makes it suitable for Australian conditions. Each roll contains 9,000 feet of twine for convenient fitting into any baling device – offering anyone looking to increase the performance of their baling equipment an effective option.
