Bale Tying Wire

Bale Tying Wire

Diameter Range of single wire: As determined by a specific project- typical is 2.2mm to 2.3mm plum or minum 0.05mm

Elongation: Minimum 7%/Maxmum 10% in 254mm sample

Tensile Strength: Typical 965-1172Mpa- can vary some based on diameter considerations

Helix (Vertical Cast): Positive target is less than 51mm- not more than 80mm (Reverse cast not permtted)

Horizontal Cast: Target based on coil characteristics noted below is 660-762 mm (Measured across diameter of a complete single loop)

Typical Coil Characteristics:

Internal Diameter: 457mm (Approximate)

External Diameter: 965mm(Approximate)

Typing and Unitizing Wire is a carbon steel wire with a galvanized coating. The wire is manufactured to meet international standards for bale typing and unitizing wire

Coating:

Bright Galvanized with a normal thinckness of 54.9 grams of zinc per square meter of wire surface.

Finish:

The wire is coated with a 2-4% solution of specific wax coating for extended resistance to oxidation and surface deterioration.

Continuous Coil- Processing Welds:

Wire will be in continuous coil from top to bottom of each carrier with no loose ends. No more than two process welds are allowed coil (based on typical size note above and in the majority of coils there should be either no weld or only one) Weld area will be dressed properly such that wire diameter and strength are maintained within the wire specification.

Packaging:

Three different package types, Donut Coils, Carrier Coils, Marathon Packs. Packing considerations common to all types:

Wire is secured with materials which will not promote or accelerate wire deterioration in any manner. Package is designed so that there is no contact between handling equipment and the wire itself. Avoidance of any plastic material being in direct contact with the wire.

Designed to minimize if not eliminate exposure to moisture or contamination of same.

Identification system in place allowing traceability and easy identification of material.

Containment:

Wire is usually secured via the use of 20mm flat steel strapping which is tensioned in place with sufficient force to minimize bouncing, chafing or interweaving during handling and transport.

Testing:

Prior to shipment each coil of wire is tested to determine that it meets specification standards for the individual customers requirements. Test results are recorded and sent to the customer for access as required by international Unitizing Regulations on traceability to wire usage on actual pulp production.
