Baling Wire 101

The type of baling wire and baler that a facility uses is largely dependent on the type of materials being recycled, the size of the bales being produced and the amount of bales produced per day. There are two types of baling wire used in the baling process:

Black Annealed Baling Wire

Today&#;s single-ram balers are producing heavier and denser bales. This means that the quality of black annealed baling wire is more important than ever before. Accent Wire Tie&#;s black annealed baling wire is black in appearance with a consistent oiled surface to prevent rust and ensure smooth feeding through your baler.

Black Annealed Baling Wire Process

The annealing process occurs after wire is drawn from carbon steel rod to the desired diameter or gauge. The wire is heated in a furnace altering the microstructure of the wire, and then is slowly cooled. This process restores the ductility of the black annealed baling wire, providing for superior elongation, as well as changing its color from more of a rough grey or silver to the familiar black color.

Unlike galvanized baling wire, black annealed baling wire will rust if used and stored outdoors. Packing for the black annealed baling wire is on production stands for large throughput balers, and 50-pound and 100-pound box wire.

Galvanized Extra Hi-Tensile&#; Baling Wire

Accent Wire Tie&#;s Galvanized Extra Hi-Tensile&#; Stand Wire is the premier baling wire in the industry, for two-ram balers and automatic wire tying machines, like the Accent 470 Wire Tier. Manufactured for complete metallurgical traceability from the wire rod to the baling wire around your bales.

Galvanized Baling Wire Process

Galvanization is the process of coating or bathing drawn bright basic wire in a pool of molten zinc. This step occurs after the drawing process once the wire has been drawn to the desired diameter or gauge.

Our galvanized baling wire is shiny silver in appearance with a smooth finish treatment, very little oil or residue to prevent rust. The galvanization process allows the baling wire to be used in wet and humid conditions without compromising its structural integrity and quality. Galvanized baling wire has a higher tensile strength with less elongation than black annealed baling wire. Galvanized wire is the most durable and versatile, and is recommended when storing your baled material in a location that has exposure to outdoor elements.

Whether you&#;re baling waste and recycling products, non-ferrous metals, or pulp tying and unitizing, our Galvanized Extra Hi-Tensile&#; baling wire is manufactured for the toughest baling applications. Available as galvanized stand wire (carrier wire).

    Baling wire is essential in the recycling industry. In short, bale ties are used to secure bales of recyclable material safely and neatly before moving on through the recycling process. There are different types and styles of baling wires used in the industry today. In this article, we will cover how baling wire is used, the different types available, and how Quincy Recycle can equip your business with these essential recycling equipment supplies.

How is baling wire used in the recycling industry?

    Manufacturers and distributors produce a lot of recyclable scrap material. Whether that&#;s cardboard, plastics, paper, or metals, using recycling equipment like balers helps businesses efficiently organize, store, and prepare that scrap for recycling. That&#;s where baling wire comes in.

    The baling wire is fed through a baler to tie-off the bale of scrap. Baling your recyclable scrap makes loading the scrap onto a trailer for transit much easier. Plus, it helps keep your facility cleaner and more organized. Seems simple enough, right? Well, there is actually a lot to consider when choosing bale wire.

What are the different types of baling wire available?

    There are three main types of baling wire commonly used in the recycling industry; Single-Loop Bale Ties, Box Wire, and Stump Wire. With each type of baling wire, there are various wire gauges, lengths, and finishes available.

Single-Loop Bale Ties

    Single Loop bale ties are used with vertical and horizontal balers. These ties secure bales of recycled material after it has already gone through the baler. Single-loop baling ties are hand-tied by running the loose end through the loop to secure the wire around the bale.

Box Wire

    If your business is using an auto-tie style baler, then box wire is a great option. Box wire comes packaged as one continuous length of wire. The wire is fed through an auto-tie baler. This is great for manufacturers or distributors that produce large quantities of scrap material because it helps save time. Whereas single-loop bale ties are hand fed and hand-tied for every bale, box wire feeds continuously for a more efficient workflow.

Stump Wire

    For handling even larger quantities of scrap material, stump wire is your best bet and comes in very large spools. The spools of wire are auto-fed similar to Box Wire, but because of the larger sized spools, they are changed out less often. For example, you&#;ll find stump wire used with Two Ram Balers, which have a single-wire feed. These balers are processing huge quantities of scrap and stump wire helps prevent extra downtime from frequent wire spool changes.

Galvanized vs Plastic Baling Wire

     While galvanised wire excels in certain applications, it does have some drawbacks, which is where plastic baling wire can show its strengths. Firstly, galvanised wire is prone to rusting, especially in wet or corrosive environments. This can lead to a shorter lifespan and the need for more frequent replacement and maintenance. In contrast, plastic baling wire does not rust, has excellent corrosion resistance, and is able to maintain stable performance in a variety of environmental conditions.

     In addition, plastic baling wires are lighter and more flexible than galvanised wires, making them suitable for a wide range of shapes and materials. Their flexibility allows for more flexible tying and better adaptation to different tying needs. Galvanised wires, on the other hand, are relatively stiff and may not fit some complex shapes perfectly.

    In terms of environmental protection, plastic baling wires are usually made from recyclable materials, in line with the concept of sustainability. However, the production process of galvanised iron wire may involve some impact on the environment. Therefore, plastic baling wire may be preferred from an environmentally friendly perspective.

Baling Wire Gauges

The last major factor you need to consider is choosing the right gauge of wire for the material you are baling. When you buy baling wire from judingroup, our team will help you choose the right gauge of baling wire, giving you peace of mind knowing that your team is using baling wire that is safe and strong enough.

Why should you buy your baling wire from judingroup?

Revolutionary combustion treatment: The plastic baling line is a combustible baling line that can be put into combustion without disassembly. This is very convenient when handling waste or performing incineration processes.

Enhanced combustion properties: In addition, the Plastic Baler Line has enhanced combustion properties that provide additional calorific value of combustion, increasing the efficiency of waste-to-energy conversion.

Machine adaptability: Suitable for most horizontal balers, the line gauge can also be customised to exactly meet your requirements, such as Macpress, BOA, Macfab, Godswil, Lindex, UnoTech, Presona and Sacria.

Amazing tensile breaking strength: plastic baling wires have an amazing tensile breaking strength of 6,000 N at a given length, ensuring stability and safety during baling and transport.

Outstanding elongation at break: The product has an elongation at break of up to 15 per cent at a given length and a total elongation at break of 9 per cent. This gives the baling wire excellent flexibility and tensile strength.

Cost savings and regulatory compliance: Using plastic baling wire helps offset EU fines for recycling wire from incinerators and meets regulatory requirements, while saving organisations money.

Supports sustainable development: As a product designed specifically for the waste-to-energy process, plastic baling wire actively supports the goals of sustainable development by facilitating the conversion of waste into useful energy.
