Abstract
A wire-removing machine for pulp bales consists of a positioning device (1) for the bales, a cutting device (2) for cutting through the tying wires stretched around the bales, and also a winding device (4) for winding the cut-through tying wires. In order to optimize the co-ordination between cutting and winding devices and so that cutting through and subsequently winding the wires can be carried out without problem even when the tying wires are arranged obliquely, a gripping device (3) is provided with which the tying wires are held in position and are lifted a short distance away from the bale after being cut through, the winding device (4) seizing the cut-through wires in the section between the bale and the gripping device (3) and winding them into coils.
Claims10
Wire-removing machine for bales, such as pulp bales having tying wires stretched around the bales, the machine comprising a positioning device for positioning a bale, a cutting device for cutting through the tying wires, a gripping device for lifting the tying wires away from the bale after being cut through, and a winding device for winding the cut-through tying wires, the machine being characterized in that the cutting device includes two elongated cutter bars having cutting sides provided with teeth arranged one behind the other at regular intervals, the bars being movable back and forth relative to each other, wherein the gripping device is formed by at least one lifting strip unit including lifting strips provided with teeth arranged so as to be distributed at equal intervals over the length of the lifting strips, the lifting strips lying parallel to an adjacent bale surface of a positioned bale and being displaceable relative to one another in their longitudinal direction, and wherein the winding device seizes the cut-through wires in an area between the bale and the gripping device and winds the cut-through wires into coils.
