The Pellenc advantages
Each tie is tailored to suit the environmental conditions of the vine, the weight of the plant being tied and the time frame.
Standard tie
- Breaks down after 10 to 12 months of use according to climatic conditions, load, and quality of the trellising wire.
- 44 mm steel wire
- Average tie strength = 14 kg*
Ref.: 3057047
Biodegradable tie
- Starts to disintegrate after 8 to 10 months depending on use. The photodegradable additive accelerates degradation of the envelope, which is conducive to attachment.
- 44 mm steel wire
- Average tie strength = 14 kg*
Ref.: 3057048
Stainless steel tie
- Slow disintegration. Use for cordon system vines and the installation of irrigation pipes.
- 44 mm stainless steel wire
- Average tie strength = 14 kg*
Ref.: 3057053
0,36 paper tie
- Breaks down after 6 to 9 months depending on use. The paper retains moisture, which is conducive to breakdown of the tie.
- 36 mm steel wire
- Average tie strength = 9 kg*
Ref.: 3057052
