Bale Wire Basics
Cort Walberg
Bale wire is a sort of wire that was initially used for the purpose of creating bales. In recent times it is used in agriculture as well as in many other places.
Bale wire was primarily called 'farm wire' because of its wide use in farming and agriculture. It is now known as 'soft wire' for its quality to mend and fix well.
In earlier period, people often created headband out of farm wire. As the demand of the time changed, they felt the necessity of having some sort of flexibility and in this way soft and flexible wire came into being. Bale wire is now commonly used by most of the people to have relaxed an easy life.
Metals like steel or iron are used for making bale wire. We find bale wire usually packed in rolls or reels. The wide use of bale wire marks its popularity known everywhere.
A range of varieties is available in Bale wire. Galvanize bale is one of the types of balers whereby the wire is coated with materials like Zinc that protects the wire from rust and decay.
An annealing process of heating the wire and slowly cooling it produces another kind of bale wire known as Annealed bale wire. It is strong and powerful than regular bale wire.
The use of bale wire in agriculture is often seen in binding square bales of hay, cut grass or straw. Baling wire helps to make chain links by which fences are mended. Such fences made of chain links enable the farm safety. Chain links can easily be cut according to the requirement of the fence and therefore they are somewhat inexpensive.
Bale wire is used to prepare bales of compacted waste material such as plastic or paper for recycling balers. It then binds the compacted waste material.
Baling wire is used in textile industries also. In such non-agriculture area compact bales of cotton, wool, jute and other materials are created. These compact bales are easily transported.
