AGROPET®

It is installed with the same tools as wire —gripples, pulleys and tensioners— but ties by hand and does not cut

Desenrollado de una bobina de cable AGROPET en el campo

ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification — Bureau Veritas

Paso a paso

Uncoil the reel

4 reels at a time

Do not shake the coil vigorously. If excess cable comes out, re-coil it slowly to recover tension..

If the concrete post has sharp edges, chip them lightly to avoid damaging the cable.
Si sale exceso de cable, reenróllalo despacio para recuperar la tensión.
Tension to 1%

1% of the line length

of the line: on a 150 m line, tension 1.5 m. Open the clamp, place the wire between the plates, and pull the block-and-tackle until both pulleys come into contact. Optimal installation tension: 1% of the line. Finish the excess with a knot at the post or with a tensioner / Gripple®.

Tensión óptima de instalación: 1 % de la línea.
Tie to the end posts

1–1.5 m

of cable for the knot: Wrap the cable 2–3 times around the post. Form 6–7 tight spirals of the short end over the long end.

Make a loop and, working in the opposite direction, form another 6–7 spirals.
Insert the final end into the cable secured to the post.
Haz un lazo y, trabajando en dirección opuesta, forma otras 6–7 espirales.
Fix to intermediate posts

three loops

over the edges of the post. The spirals protect the cable from abrasion. The three loops lock the cable in place.

Las espirales protegen al cable de los arañazos.
Join and connect

Gripple®

. To run the cable through the posts: Use nylon hooks or aluminium clamps.Do not run the wire directly through the post notches.

Adjust clamps according to diameter; use several if needed.
What you need
Tools for installation

Uncoiler

A stick or a reel dispenser. With a tractor pallet carrier you can uncoil up to 4 reels at a time.

Pulley or tensioner

A tensioning pulley (block-and-tackle) or a tensioner to leave the line at 1% tension.

Gripple® or clamps

Gripple® (Ø 2.6–4 mm), Gripple® Agri (Ø 5 mm) or aluminium and copper clamps (Ø 2.6–5 mm) for joining and finishing.

Nylon hooks

For running the cable through wooden and concrete posts without rubbing against the notches.
