Sisal twine — natural twine for balers

Sisal: selection and consumption
Sisal is a choice of fibre, not of machine, so we do not ask about the baler. Tell us what and how much you bale, and we will prepare a quotation.
What do you bale?
Conditions (optional)
We calculate consumption only from your data. The Cotesi catalogue gives metres per spool, not per bale. How much goes into each bale depends on its size, density and the prasy settings. Without this figure we will calculate consumption at quotation.
Give the scale — we'll show sisal, consumption and a quote.
Sizal Cotesi
| Produkt | Metry | Strength | Kolor | Zastosowanie |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sizal Cotesi Bio | as per datasheet | as per datasheet | natural | Natural, biodegradable twine |
Cotesi is the largest European sisal producer (plant in Portugal). Sisal is selected by its characteristics, not by a table: uniform thickness along the whole length, guaranteed minimum strength, no knots, anti-rot and anti-rodent treatment. Length and strength of a specific line are provided at ordering, together with batch availability. Looking for something stronger and more moisture-resistant? See PP twine. Full range: Baling materials.
Sisal goes hand in hand with flax
The self-propelled flax baler Union GX255 Rafale can be found in our flax section. Sisal binds the bale, and the GX255 makes it.
Good to know
How does sisal differ from PP twine?
Sisal is a plant fibre: natural and biodegradable, it breaks down together with crop residues, so there is no need to collect it from the field. PP (polypropylene) twine is stronger at the knot, resistant to moisture and rodents, and the reel is longer. Sisal is chosen for organic production and flax — when what remains in the soil matters.
Will sisal withstand outdoor storage?
Worse than PP. Cotesi treats sisal against rot, mould, insects and rodents, but for long outdoor storage in rain and under heavy rodent pressure, PP twine is more durable. If the bales will stand outside for the season, tell us — we'll recommend honestly, even if that means PP.
What are the parameters of Cotesi sisal?
Cotesi sisal has even thickness along its full length, guaranteed minimum strength, no knots or splices, and rot and rodent treatment — these features determine performance in the knotter. Length and strength of a specific batch are provided when ordering, together with its availability.
