Consumables

Cranston offers various consumable supplies associated with our products. Options for bundling supplies, services and parts can be reviewed when desired.


Bale and Unitizing Wire.

Strength, water resistance, recyclability and wire’s round cross-section and uniform flexibility has made it the traditional media for wood pulp retention for several decades. All wire being fed into a Cranston wire strapping machine should be in compliance to Cranston’s specification CS003 (wire specifications) and in addition, wire for unitizing purposes in compliance to Cranston’s specification CS001 (top attachment lifting specification).

Cranston’s team can align you with a quality wire supplier and offers to bundle wire supply, service and parts when your needs call for it.

For reference purposes, Cranston recommends the following wire sizes:

  • Sheeted dry pulp bales: 1.8mm /15awg diameter with a tensile range of 880 – 1127 N/mm2 /130- 160000 psi.
  • Large wet pulp bales: 2.2mm/13.5awg diameter with a tensile range of 880 – 1127 N/mm2 /130- 160000 psi.
  • Stacks and Units of pulp or Waste and Recycle bales: 3mm/11awg diameter with a tensile range of 1000 – 1175 N/mm2 /145- 170,000 psi.

RapBond Adhesive.

Eco Friendly – Operator Friendly – Cold water repulpable adhesive is sprayed onto the bales wrapper and is compatible with most typical pulping processes.

RapBond is available in White or tinted in Blue or Green. RapBond is manufactured in compliance to Cranston’s CS008 specifications as well as FDA 21CFR175.105 regulations and is sealed and shipped in 205kg/450# fiber barrels (4 to a pallet). Larger totes can be quoted. Freezing must be avoided.

Working together, the RapPress machine system, RapBond adhesive and a well presented, quality wrapper create a surprisingly durable package for many types of sheeted dry pulp. The result is a well wrapped, easily re-pulped bale with a uniquely smooth clean appearance.

Using Cranston’s typical coverage estimate of approximately 11,000 bales per barrel, RapBond is the most cost-effective form of bale wrap and retention in use today.
