Rasspe®
single knotters
The specialist in knotter technology
The rasspe® portfolio comprises a wide range of different types of single knotters for balers of all output levels. The knotters differ in the types of knots they produce – loop, string and hybrid knots – and in the tying system they are based on – Deering or Cormick.

For hay, straw and silage bales

Innovation
The Active Tailless Single Knotter Technology eliminates the tails that are normally cut off the finished knot. This is a major contribution to reducing plastic waste in agriculture.
Based on the RS 6003 single knotter, the innovation operates to the Deering principle which actively pulls off the knot and cuts off the tail. This innovative system is going to be transferred to other rasspe® single knotters as well.
