Tips :

• Equivalences: agricultural sisal twine is thicker than agricultural plastic twine
• Storage: Store the twine upright in a correct direction and do not throw it away to avoid abrasion.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from dust and moisture.
• The sisal agricultural twine type 220 is a little thinner than 175, 185 and 200! One adjustment may be sufficient for use
• Check the diameter and height of your compartments. If the twine roll is thicker, it will be necessary to remove some twine to adapt it to it.
• On a low-density press, the principle of sisal and plastic twine is not the same. The knife must be perfectly aligned in contact with the knotter disc and the notch of the knotter disc must not be dug.

Notes :

Most farmers have switched to 350 polypropylene (plastic) twine, which is stronger and cheaper per kilo.

On the first medium densities, some modifications had to be made so that the machine could switch from sisal to synthetic. Then the beaks all twines solved this problem

Some presses will accept this sisal twine under adjustment conditions

A bit of history: 

The name "Sisal" is derived from the port city of Sisal, located in Mexico, from which the fibres were shipped worldwide. This sisal plant fibre (Agave sisalana) is a plant that gives "hard fibres" used for rope making, twine making, collecting bags, furniture.

Sisal made the central Yucatán region rich between the end of the 18th century and the 1920s, particularly with the market for links for reapers and binders.

Until the 1970s, this fibre was known to European farmers as a twine used to bind flax and hay bales. Since the advent of high-density presses, it has been replaced by plastic "polypropylene" (plastic) twine.

Sisal twine is fully biodegradable. It remains the longest and most resistant of all plant fibres. It then receives anti-mould and rodent treatments.

A partnership with one of the world's leading sisal producers allows us to offer you a twine that meets the requirements of current standards:

Sisal twine remains an essential accessory for agricultural activity.
