Abstract
The invention relates to a device 1 to remove binding materials 2 from packaged bulk goods 3, particularly binding wire or binding cord from compressed cuboid bales as packaged bulk goods. In order to have an automated process during removal of binding materials, a transport unit 4 is provided to transport the packaged bulk goods 3 into a gripping and cutting station 6 at which the package of bulk goods 3 is affixed on the one side by a clamping device 8 and on the other side of the package of bulk goods by a cutting device 7, and binding materials 2 are gripped by the clamping device 8 and cut by the cutting device 7.
Claims14
Device (1) to remove binding materials (2) from packaged bulk goods (3), the device comprising:
- a transport unit (4);
- and
- a gripping and cutting station (6), the gripping and cutting station comprising:
- a clamping device (8) comprising a plurality of fixed teeth (8.2) and a plurality of movable teeth (8.4) that are movable relative to the fixed teeth (8.2) so as to grip the binding materials (2) between the fixed (8.2) and movable (8.4) teeth;
- and
- a cutting device (7) comprising a plurality of fixed teeth (7.2) and a plurality of movable teeth (7.4) that are movable relative to the fixed teeth (7.2) of the cutting device (7) so as to sever the binding materials (2);
- wherein the transport unit (4) is configured to transport the packaged bulk goods into the gripping and cutting station (6);
- wherein the clamping device (8) and the cutting device (7) are movable along an axis (X) in directions towards and away from the packaged bulk goods (3) located in the gripping and cutting station(6);
- and wherein the fixed teeth (8.2) of the clamping device (8) protrude, in a direction along the axis, beyond the movable teeth (8.4) of the clamping device (8), so as to be able to penetrate into the packaged bulk goods (3) to prevent movement of the packaged bulk goods (3) during the severing of the binding materials (2), and the fixed teeth (7.2) of the cutting device (7) protrude, in a direction along the axis, beyond the movable teeth (7.4) of the cutting device (7), so as to be able to penetrate into the packaged bulk goods (3) to prevent movement of the packaged bulk goods (3) during the severing of the binding materials (2).
