How to Choose a Handheld Electric Tying Machine

Designed for use in the agricultural industry, this easy to use machine offers full day productivity without causing carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive motion injuries. Able to tie up to 1-3/8′′ in diameter, this unit features a fully accessible extended front tying aperture, an easy squeeze trigger and LED indicator for battery life and number of twists.

1. Battery Life

Battery life is an important factor to consider when choosing a handheld electric tying machine. The amount of time a tying machine can operate without needing to be recharged is crucial to the safety features and functions of the tool. This is particularly true if the machine is used for long periods of time.

The Electric Hand-Held Plant Twist Tie Machine ties vines up to 1 inch in diameter and offers a full 8 hours of continuous tying per battery charge. Its brushless electric motor provides higher efficiency and higher productivity, resulting in lower damage to plants, stems and labor costs. In addition, it's a great choice for people with arthritic hands and is more portable than a cable-powered tying machine. Its anti-slip handle design also makes it easier to work longer and more comfortably.

2. Power Source

The power source of a handheld electric tying machine is important because it can have an impact on the tool’s safety features and functions. A battery powered tying tool can be a major time saver, and it can also reduce the risk of carpel tunnel syndrome and repetitive motion injuries associated with hand twist tying.

The pricier models will come with a large number of watts and batteries, which can allow the user to tie hundreds of ties per hour. The best tying tools will also have an adjustable trigger, an LED light to tell you how much battery life is left, and a protective enclosure for the ribbon spool. Hopefully, these features will help you choose the best tying tool for your application.

3. Power Supply

The power supply of your handheld electric tying machine is an important factor when it comes to the function and performance of the tool. This is especially true for machines that require more than one hand to operate, such as a twist tie tool for tying poly bags or a rebar tying tool for staking agricultural products in the field.

It should come as no surprise that a battery powered tying device will be the most efficient, requiring less maintenance and battery replacement than its manual counterpart. It should also be a good idea to consider the size and weight of your tying device, as well as any special features you need, such as an ergonomic handle or a holster. The best handheld tying machine should not only make you more productive, but it should also be safe and a pleasure to use.

4. Battery Charger

The battery charger of a handheld electric tying machine is important because it controls the power to the tool. It measures the charge current and once it drops below a certain percentage, the charger shuts off the battery.

The charger will also monitor the voltage of the battery and when it reaches a pre-set level, the charge cycle is completed. Then the charger will monitor the battery again and begin a new charge cycle.

5. Safety

Safety is a term that reflects the extent to which an object or system protects against accidental harm. This could include a variety of factors including engineering responses, regulations, and insurance.

Safe workplaces are important for business success. They can help keep employee morale high, reduce downtime and retraining, and retain employees longer.
