5 Different Types of Baling Wire and How They Are Used

In the recycling industry, you need a high quality, reliable baling wire. From binding paper, cardboard, to bales and other recyclables, it is crucial that your baling wire can withstand the elements and keep the items safe during transport and beyond. Baling wire is also essential for any facility that uses vertical or horizontal balers. It helps keep the machines running smoothly. Choosing the right type of baling wire is important.

Following are 5 different types of baling wires and how they are used:

1. Single Loop Wire

Single loop baling wire is manufactured from the black annealed wire as well as galvanized wire using a medium carbon steel. The steel is melted at the factory/mill. You need to tie this type of baling wire by hand. It is usually used in vertical balers. Single loop wire allows for a great amount of flexibility because it can be cut according to requirements. This ensures that there is no wastage of wire.

2. Double-Loop Wire

Double-loop baling wire comes in pre-cut lengths. It’s both ends are bent with a loop. You can snap the loops together without any twisting, which is usually required by a single loop wire. Since there is no bending required, you can tie off the bale pretty quickly. A double-loop baling wire is an ideal choice for bales or materials as well as high production applications that have a high degree of expansion force. Since they are easy to use, double-loop wires are quite popular in the recycling industry.

3. Black Annealed Wire

Black Annealed Baling Wire is a relatively softened wire as compared to most other types. It can be used with any baling machine for all kinds of materials to be baled. Black Annealed Wire comes in different gauges and is packaged on tubular steel carriers. You can stack the carriers in order to save space in storage. Black Annealed Wire is coated with oil to make sure it moves through the baler easily, without any friction. It also ensures that the wire doesn’t wear down or rust over time.

4. Boxed Wire

Boxed wire is made from specialized Black Annealed Wire. You can use this type of baling wire on all kinds of single ram auto-tie balers. It is usually packed in 100-pound boxes. 50-pound boxes are also available. Boxed wire is lightly oiled to lubricate feed system and also to prevent rust.

5. High Tensile Wire

A high tensile baling wire can be used to bale a wide range of recycled products that require a strong wire to hold the bundles together for transport. A high tensile wire is often used for two ram balers that utilize strapper style tiers. It comes in different gauges and is packaged in tubular steel carriers.

Baling wire, otherwise known as bale wire, farm wire, haywire, or soft wire, is a type of wire used in agriculture and industry for many uses such as mending fences or manually binding rectangular bales of hay, straw, or cut grass. It is also used in many non-agricultural applications, such as banding together corrugated cardboard, paper, textiles, aluminum and other materials that are processed in the recycling industry.

Terminology and description

Baling wire is also known as bale wire, farm wire, haywire, or soft wire, is a type of wire.[citation needed]

Uses

Baling wire is used in agriculture and industry for many uses, including mending fences or manually binding rectangular bales of hay, straw, or cut grass. It is also used in many non-agricultural applications such as banding together corrugated cardboard, paper, textiles, aluminum and other materials that are processed in the recycling industry.[citation needed]

In the United States, Australia, and around the world, baling wire was used in mechanical hay balers pulled behind a tractor. The automated balers used a wire twister that first cut then twisted the ends of the wire such that the bale kept its shape after the baler had pressed the hay into a tight rectangular bale. These hay balers were in common use until the late s.[1] When the hay was fed to livestock the wire was cut and often hung in bundles or stored in barrels or metal drums around the farm. Farmers used the soft wire for temporary repairs of a wide variety of objects on the farm, such as fences, leather horse harnesses, head stalls and bridles, or as pins to keep castellated nuts in place on the tractor. Even small screwdrivers could be made by cutting a short length of wire and looping one end for grip. The other end was then flattened and shaped to make a screwdriver.[citation needed]

Baling wire is sometimes used in an informal, make-do manner as an easy fix. It is frequently referred to as one of the basic repair materials[citation needed] Typical uses include supporting loose mufflers and patching chain-link fences.[citation needed]

Slang

Baling wire is also known as "haywire", from which several slang terms have arisen. The term "to go haywire", meaning to go wrong or behave unpredictably, arose either from the wire's tendency to become entangled if improperly handled, or from the wire's use to fix anything in an ad hoc manner.[2]
