Frequently asked questions
What is unitizing / bale wire?
High-tensile galvanized wire for automatic strapping and unitizing of pulp and cotton bales on baling presses.
What tensile and size?
About 2.2–3.0 mm at 965–1172 MPa; confirmed against your baling machine and joint requirements.
Is cast and helix controlled?
Yes — cast and helix are controlled for reliable feeding on automatic balers; we confirm the required values with your machine specification.
