Polypropylene Polypropylene – an environmentally sound base product
KRONE excellent Twine: Twines are usually based on synthetic polypropylene, which is derived from crude oil. The retail price of polypropylene is down to a variety of factors, including the current crude oil price, the current capacity of utilization of the raw material manufacturer and the overall market demand.
Friendly to the environment KRONE twines are food grade and environmentally friendly. In addition, a special stabilizing process makes the twine very resistant to UV and weather exposure. The color of the twine affects neither its quality or its ecological compatibility. After 3 to 4 years of outdoor storage, the twine begins to decay without leaving residues or releasing toxins.

| Product information twine
How can you tell a twine is good quality? Background information on markets and products Baler twine is marketed by two types of manufacturers. One one hand, there are farm machinery manufacturers who market original baler twine that is made for their own machinery and offers the most dependable
performance and optimum results. On the other hand, there are manufacturers who are not farm machinery manufacturers and who market these consumables under separate labels.
Consider the following aspects when buying twine:
The strain is highest in the knot. If knot strength is low, the twine will
A high-quality twine will hold - even on high-density bales.
most likely tear here.
Knot strength Knot strength expresses the knot’s strength to resist force (expressed in lbf) before it tears. On the baler, the twine is worked hardest in the knot, which is due to the knotting process. Therefore, this is the area that is most susceptible to tearing. In practice, standard knot strength today is approx. 480 lbf; the KRONE excellent twines offer knot strengths of 550 lbf (MultiBale) to 700 lbf (HDP X-treme).
Resistance to tearing The higher the claimed resistance to tearing, the higher the overall twine stability and strength. Ordinary twines with a low resistance to tearing are often unable to hold high bale densities. KRONE excellent Twine HDP X-treme offers a resistance of 700 lbf which makes it one of the strongest twines in the market.
As you untwist the twine, you see that the strands are actually treated film tape.
Optimum fibrillation ensures tight knots Fibrillation is a separate step within the production process, where the twine is spun from film tape after this received special treatment. Best possible fibrillation produces very robust twine and tight knotting.

Ideal spooling Baler twine should unroll easily and uniformly. Daily checks on the spooling process assure KRONE excellent twine performs absolutely troublefree inside the baler.

The manufacturing of KRONE excellent Edge net wrap Crude oil 100 %
Manufacturing and pricing of net wraps in general Net wrap is made of polyethylene, which is derived from crude oil. Crude oil prices are very volatile and this accounts for the price fluctuations of net wrap. When comparing prices, you should compare prices per bale rather than prices per roll.
Diesel oils and heating 70 %
Benzines 20 %
Carburetor fuels 13 %
Chemical raw materials
Production The high-density polyethylene granules are heated in an extruder until molten. Then the material is blown through a jet and into a bubble shape. Once cooled, the film is wound onto rolls and then cut into thin tapes. These tapes are stretched and fed to looms where they are manufactured into KRONE excellent net wrap, following a unique and patented process. At the end of this step, the finished net is rolled into rolls of different lengths.
