Baler twine is a kind of binding twine using for an automatic baler machine. It can be made from natural twine or synthetic twine. If you trace back to the history of baler twine, it has been used from the 19th century when automatic reaper machines were developing. Originally, baler twine was used by hand and called binding twine. And then in the 1930s, the first automatic baler twine has been invented. These machines used binding twine to knot hay bale automatically. With widely applied to the farm industry of automatic baler machines, binding twine became popular and known as baler twine.
At the very beginning, natural fibers such as sisal, manila, cotton were used for making baler twine. But because of their features were not suitable for baler machines, so artificial fibers were used to produce baler twine. Polypropylene was firstly founded by Phillips Petroleum chemists J. Paul Hogan and Robert Banks. And in the 1960s, Polypropylene was used for making baler twine. With its greater features over sisal, Polypropylene twine has surpassed natural twine to become the most used baler twine.
Besides of Polypropylene, many other manmade fibers were developed and applied in baler twine manufacturers. Nowadays, baler machines and baler twines are developing rapidly to bring many advantages for farmers.
Natural fibers are still being used until now because of some irreplaceable features which manmade material can’t bring to farmers. Natural fibers are highly appreciated for biodegradable and pollution-free properties. More importantly, they are cheaper than synthetic twine.
