We have prepared some recommendations on what to look for when it comes to loading the twine spools into the baler machine. Here too, the appropriate size of the magazine plays a role...
Today's baler machines manufacturers build twine magazines according to ISO 4167 spool size specifications.
Beware, however, with older balers, the dimensions are usually smaller, with a standard height of 320 cm and a width of 300 cm. The spools must be the correct size to fit easily into the twine magazines. Do not damage when loading into the baler machine. Make sure that the spool of twine has sufficient space (gap). Adequate space at the top from where the twine unwinds is important. Today's offer of our spools is 9 kg, 10 kg, 11,5 kg and also 12 kg.
Newly, the MASTER Original 12 kg version is becoming very popular in the domestic market, as it is sufficient for a long shift of over 900 bales per day. The picture on the right shows the size ratio of the largest MASTER Extreme version 11.5 kg spools on the baler machine with sufficient space at the top of the spool.
Overview of the current MASTER twine product line.
Inappropriate combination of differently thick twines or manufacturers on a double knotting system. Consequently, it does not guarantee good knotting.
If the spool is too large for the spool press magazine, it will be compressed and the subsequent process may cause distortion due to the deformation of the memory shape inside the spool.
The spool must be set so that the twine unwinds from the spool in a counterclockwise direction.
If the twine is unwound from the wrong end of the spool, this will increase the twist and create loops that can get caught on the inner parts of the baler machine. This problem occurs if someone removes the foil wrapping in front and then is unsure of the correct position of the spool or inadvertently turns it 180º. In extreme conditions it causes excessive twisting of the twine with subsequent winding already in the magazine.
