L&P Wire-Tie, a Carthage, Mo.-based manufacturer of bale containment systems, has introduced the Pinnacle II Wire-Tie System with CORE Modular Technology.
L&P says its Pinnacle II offers the modularity introduced in the company’s original Pinnacle system in 2010 and adds advancements designed to make it more robust. It is ideal for high-volume recycling centers that produce 200 to 400 bales per day, the company says of the Pinnacle II.

The Pinnacle II’s sequential segment gear offers variable speed, which is designed to minimize wear by gaining momentum as the machine cycles in the tying process, reducing speed at the end of the cycle. L&P says the design is unique to four-twist-knot machines, providing durability while lowering maintenance expenses.
Operators can use a lower gauge wire, lowering costs without compromising quality, according to the company. Wire gauges can be changed by swapping out the CORE—the heart of the Pinnacle II, which contains 80 percent of the tier’s wear parts. Housed within the Pinnacle Knotter, operators can access the CORE when service is required and replace it with a spare CORE within five minutes to maintain uptime, L&P says.
“We know that the only way recyclers can make money is to keep their operation up and running,” says Jim York, president, L&P Wire-Tie. “The new features offered by the Pinnacle II build on the enormous success of the original Pinnacle product. CORE modularity allows operators to service the machine and quickly return to production. The sequential segment gear and greater accessibility add durability and significantly speed maintenance.”
The L&P Pinnacle II Wire-Tie System is capable of handling bales of various sizes requiring 13 to 18.5 feet of wire per strap.
