11.2 TWINE KNOTTER MALFUNCTIONS
Some tying defects can result from incorrect use of the baler, for example:
- Too fast or too slow work pace;
- Excessive or insufficient compression of the product;
- Irregular feeding, product too wet or too dry;
- Irregular tying twine thickness.
In addition, with wear, some parts completely independent from the knotters can impair their
operation.
Check the following areas:
- Imprecise twine tension (see Sect. 7.4.6);
- Incorrect needle/knotter positioning;
- Twine prevented from running by possible blockage of the needle rollers, by tangling of the
twine, or by wear on the twine guide bushings.
Therefore we suggest the following:
- First check the knotter adjustment parameters (see sect. 7.4).
- Secondly, the shape of the knot helps to identify the cause of the tying defect; therefore, in the
following table, you can see the main problems and their solutions.
