  • Patent number: 8807000
    Abstract: The device is for cutting and removing wires from bales, such as pulp bales, paper bales and the like. The device has at least one cutting unit that has a cutting tool for cutting off a wire that is arranged around a bale, and at least one winding unit that has a winding tool for unwinding the cut wire from the bale. The cutting tool has an outer cutter and an inner cutter which are coaxially arranged and rotatable with respect to each other. Each cutter has a cutting edge which are arranged to be moved towards each other when the cutters are rotated towards each other in a certain direction, in order to cut off objects, preferably bale wires, between them.

  • Patent number: 8667664
    Abstract: The device is for cutting and removal of wires from bales, such as pulp bales, paper bales and the like. The device is intended to remove all wires from a bale that is provided with at least two wires. The device has two cutting units and two winding units that are positioned pair-wise opposite each other, on one side each of a working location (W), for the pair-wise cutting off and removal of the two wires that are arranged in parallel.

  • Patent number: 7014414
    Abstract: Apparatus for for stacking papermaking pulp bales is disclosed, comprising two sets of lifting forks, which are directed towards each other for lifting bales, and a conveyor for inserting a new bale beneath the lifted bales. The lifting forks are horizontally movable between an advanced active lifting position and an inactive retracted position and have forward portions with a continuously decreasing thickness. The drive means for the lifting forks comprise a motor and a freewheel clutch for lifting and lowering the lifting forks, so that the lowering movement for both sets of lifting forks is automatically and individually adapted to their pulling-out movement when they rest on the underlying bale, although the speed of the drive motors which operate in a synchronized manner need not be controlled.

  • Publication number: 20040076507
    Abstract: A bale stacker for stacking papermaking pulp bales, comprising two sets of lifting forks (17-19; 20-22), which are directed to each other for together lifting bales, and a conveying means (12, 13) for inserting a new bale (14) beneath the lifted bales. The lifting forks are horizontally movable between advanced active lifting position and inactive retracted position and have forward portions (23) with continuously decreasing thickness. The drive means for the lifting forks comprise a motor (37) and a freewheel clutch for lifting and lowering the lifting forks, so that the lowering movement for both sets of lifting forks automatically and individually are adapted to their pulling-out movement when they rest on the underlying bale, although the speed of the drive motors (37) of the drive means which operate synchronized need not be controlled.
