Agricultural baler knotter technology that delivers cost and environmental benefits. High tensile strength and elimination of offcuts result in a significant reduction in plastic pollution. Considering an annual production of 900 balers, and an average bale length of 2.4 meters, we can save 498 tonnes of plastic. For the average farmer, by eliminating offcuts, some 6km of twine is saved: that’s how much plastic won’t be left to contaminate the environment.
