We are your baler twine manufacturer. In this blog we would like to help you to understand what determines a high-quality polypropylene baler twine. It all starts with the manufacturing process.
The process begins by assembling the needed raw materials: plastic polymers. Compared to sisal, plastic twines are more manageable, practical and cheaper. One of the most important raw materials is polypropylene: this material enables a strong, soft twine. Another important raw material required for the production of baler twine is dye: it gives the twines its desired colours. In order to protect the material from premature degradation as a result of ultraviolet radiation, it is crucial that UV additives are added. An important step in the production process is the melting of the raw materials enabled by extrusion. This allows the formation of a polypropylene sheet which is then cooled and stabilized. The sheet is then cut to divide it into different strips of different widths and the material is later stretched. Following these steps is twisting the twine into a cylindrical shape of rope which increases its breaking strength and the final step is packing the twine in form of a coil.
Here are some standards that a roll of baler twine must meet in order to be classified as “high-quality”:
- High quality raw materials
- UV protected
- Resistance to knotting
- Softness (Guarantees more grip on the knot and reduces machine wear)
Of course, our baler twine production meets all these crucial standards and can therefore guarantee high-quality baler twines that can endure a lot of stress and pressure.
One of the main reasons why our manufacturer is one of the largest and most respected baler twine producers in the world is the fact that its factories are based in Turkey. Turkey has the 19th largest nominal GDP and is one of the world’s largest producers of agricultural products, textiles and motor vehicles. Companies like Mercedes have one of their largest factories in Turkey and have invested billions of euros into it. Due to the presence of well-renowned companies like Mercedes and the establishment of highly productive factories, Turkey has developed a very skilled workforce. What often gives manufacturers the upper hand is the geographical position of Turkey, it is placed at a very strategic location straddling Europe and Asia. This enables a fluent process of transporting goods with Europe and Asia and mitigates any challenging logistical hurdles. Turkey’s location also allows manufacturers to work closely and easily with plastic producers in the middle east. Therefore, Turkey is one of the global leaders in polypropylene processing. Not only does Turkey have good trading relationships with its eastern borders, it works closely with the EU and both partisans have established a mutually effective tariff deal.
