JUTA twine - product sheet 2023

More information

Even today, many smaller farmers use cheaper or used round baler machines, which only have the standard twine tying equipment. This method of binding is no longer as common, it is still used though. The original system used double binding which took about 20 seconds to wrap one package. Usually there was a possibility to set the twine to 14, 17, 19 or 22 "wraps" according to the diameter of the pulley. Thanks to the efforts of speeding up the process, the baler manufacturers increased the number of twine spools in the feeder from 2 to 4, which increased the consumption of thin twines, but at the same time reduced the time required for the overall packaging process. However, it is necessary to follow the recommendation of the baler manufacturer, which specifies the type of twine.

One of the advantages of twine for round bales over netting is the fact that the twine can be more easily pulled out of the bales if they are stored outdoors in winter (at sub-zero temperatures). When the net freezes, there is a risk that it will start to tear and the rests will remain in the feed, endangering cattle’s health.

Raw materials and production process

INPUT RAW MATERIALS
Our twine is produced from high-quality polypropylene granulate (PP). Polypropylene makes up approximately 97% of the finished product, the remaining percentage concerns additives in form of thermostabilizers, UV stabilizers or paints. From the long-term point of view, its physical, mechanical, hydraulic and resistance characteristics do not change significantly.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The feedstock in form of granules is led to the extruder by means of a metering unit. First, the granulate melts in the extruder. The resulting melt proceeds through the extruder towards the extrusion head (to the flat nozzle), the mixture is homogenized along the way. In this bath, the film then crystallizes / solidifies and is fed to the cutting device by means of take-off rollers. Here, the film is cut into equally wide strips under tension. The strips are then drawn into a several-meter-long hot air furnace, where they are drawn into thinner strips under tension according to the required parameters. These tapes are then wound into large rolls. The individual large-windings are then transported to the twisting machines, which twist the twine from the tape to a preset spool size under a set number of turns. The spools wound in this way are then transported to the packaging line, where they are packed in foils with printing according to the needs of customers and then transported to the warehouse where they are waiting for dispatch.

Quality control

The production of polypropylene twine is a subject to a very strict control that is a warranty of a high quality and reliability of products.

In the first step, the quality of the supplied input materials, which must meet the required specifications, is checked. The second stage consists of film and tapes quality check during the actual production process, when the thickness profile is monitored over the entire width. The third level of control involves testing of the finished products. Strength parameters and other properties are tested at the frequencies prescribed by the internal directive, which defines the requirements for individual types of products and the tolerances which the tested parameters must meet.

The plant 10 carries out regular internal audits and audits carried out by independent external companies. The production plant holds certificates according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.
