High tensile Quicklink wire is known for its sustainability, strength, and reliability.
A Publically Available Specification, PAS 108 was prepared by The British Standards Institution in collaboration with WRAP, to provide a specification for producing compact tyre bales of consistent and verifiable quality and dimension.
The PAS was prepared following exhaustive consultation from a wide range of stakeholders from the secondary tyre industry.
The compressions of these tyres into bales provides a means of reusing these tyres whilst reducing the demand for primary aggregate materials in construction.
PAS 108 sets out to provide a specification that can be adopted by suppliers for producing tyre bales that potential customers can be assured that they are procuring a construction material of consistent and verifiable quality.
Advanced Wires are proud to be one of the UK & IR biggest manufacturers of the steel wire that this specification states must be used in the production of such tyre bales.
We have been supplying tyre balers for PAS 108 and export for 10+ years and continue to work closely with all parties to ensure our products consistently meet with any requirements when producing tyre bales, offering the quality and strength that is required when baling such a high density product.
The industry set standard for producing PAS 108 tyre bales is a 3.8mm diameter X 3505mm length, Galvanised High Tensile Quicklink. By ensuring this specific product is used when baling tyres, consistency is reliable and ensures that both suppliers and customers can be sure of the exact bale specification and be confident that these bales are suitable for their process and fit for purpose.
