PlasLOC+ plastic baling wire for horizontal balers

For RDF, SRF, biomass and other waste-to-energy applications

PlasLOC+ is plastic baling wire for automatic horizontal balers in the recycling and waste-to-energy sector. The wire is developed for material streams where steel wire creates extra handling in the process, such as RDF, SRF, biomass and selected plastic streams.

Instead of steel, you use baling wire made from fully recycled plastic. This gives you a solution that fits processes where metal in the bale is undesirable. PlasLOC+ combines high tensile strength with controlled elongation, so bales remain stable during storage, handling and transport.

PlasLOC+ is suitable for applications where you are looking for a practical alternative to steel wire without compromising processability in your baling line. If you also look at CO2 impact, read more here about the potential savings when replacing steel wire.

Supply format: various reel sizes up to 13,000 metres per reel

Efficient baling without metal in the bale

In many waste-to-energy processes, steel wire must be removed from the bale before further processing or incineration is possible. This takes time, requires extra handling and makes the process more dependent on labour.

PlasLOC+ is developed for applications where that point matters. The wire makes it possible to process baled material streams without the usual metal removal associated with traditional steel wire. This means fewer intermediate steps and a more efficient flow in installations that process large volumes every day.

This makes PlasLOC+ not just a different material, but a baling solution that better fits processes where speed, simplicity and processability matter.

Suitable for RDF, SRF, biomass and plastic streams

PlasLOC+ is used in processes where bales must remain secure, but where steel wire is undesirable downstream. Think of RDF, SRF, biomass and selected plastic streams that are further processed or used for energy recovery after baling.

Typical applications are:

RDF bales for waste-to-energy
SRF bales for energy applications
biomass for incineration or further processing
plastic streams for recycling or energy recovery
processes where metal in the bale is undesirable

A strong alternative to steel wire

An alternative to steel wire only works if performance stands up in practice. That is why PlasLOC+ is developed for reliable processing in automatic horizontal balers.

The wire offers high tensile strength and controlled elongation that matches the behaviour of black annealed steel wire. This helps knots close consistently and keeps bales stable during handling, storage and transport. At the same time, the wire can be used with the same tying system, which makes it practical in existing baling processes.

With plastic baling wire, people sometimes look at properties that are mainly relevant for steel, but that do not automatically say much about performance in plastic applications.

Why choose Metalwire

We are at your service

To help you quickly find the right wire, we keep communication short and direct. You will have direct contact with a product specialist who handles everything – from advice and quotation to delivery and aftersales.

We customise

Quicklinks, single-loop ties or cut-to-length bars – we process and supply wire exactly as you need it. In the right length, form and packaging. Tailored to your application and delivery process.

We deliver

You get what we agree on: the right wire, on time and at the right place. Our logistics are built for speed and reliability – whether it concerns a single coil or a full truckload.

We keep stock

We maintain large inventories to ensure fast delivery. For regular customers, we can reserve specific stock. This prevents delays and guarantees constant availability of the wire you need.

Tailored advice for your baling installation

Not every baler and not every material stream requires the same baling wire. That is why we look at the full picture: your machine set-up, baler settings, material type and downstream process.

Do you bale RDF, SRF, biomass or plastic streams? Then we advise you on which version and reel size best fit your process. That way, you choose plastic baling wire that runs well through the machine, closes reliably and is practical for daily production.

Fully recycled material, practical in use

PlasLOC+ is made from fully recycled plastic. That means you choose an alternative to steel wire that is not only interesting from a process point of view, but also fits the growing demand for lower CO2 impact in recycling and waste-to-energy applications.

The wire is available in different reel sizes up to 13,000 metres per reel. This makes PlasLOC+ suitable for industrial environments where continuity, processability and predictable supply matter.

Consistent performance in horizontal balers

With baling wire for automatic horizontal balers, it is not only about strength, but also about consistent processing. PlasLOC+ is developed for applications that require stable performance over longer production runs and under varying conditions.

Metalwire aligns delivery and availability with your process. You get clear agreements on stock, delivery and continuity, so your baling wire fits your production planning and logistics.

Also looking for other baling solutions?

In addition to PlasLOC+, Metalwire also supplies other wire products for recycling and baling applications, such as black annealed wire, quick links and single loop bale ties. This gives you the right solution for every material stream and baler configuration.
