CROSS-WIRED OR HORIZONTAL BALES – NOW YOU CAN DEWIRE BOTH

BALE TURNING UNIT HANDLES VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL METAL WIRES

Sometimes materials like mixed plastic and PET bottles are tied in both directions, like a grid. Dewiring cross-wired bales might present a challenge for the efficiency of your recycling process if, for instance, one layer of wires is removed manually. How to remove the metal wires from cross-wired plastic material bales in a more efficient and safe way?

Cross Wrap’s Cross-dewiring machine now does the job. As an addition to our Dewiring machine, a bale turning unit is assembled in front of it. It turns the bale to the correct position so that the outer layer of wires are horizontal and dewired first. The bale backs up in the line, the unit turns it, and the second layer of wires is dewired.

Our Dewiring machines are used all around the world. Now the new addition, the bale turning unit, brings the machine to a new level, whether you buy the Cross-dewiring machine new or fit the addition to an existing Dewiring machine. The Cross-dewiring machine might be a good fit for you if your facility takes in cross-wired or both horizontally and cross-wired bales.

USE MACHINE VISION TO MAKE BALE INFEED SIMPLE

Cross-wired bale dewiring machine can handle cross-wired bales but doesn’t prevent or slow down the dewiring of standard horizontally wired bales on the same operation line.

The standard bale turning unit can be selected in use from the Dewiring machine’s control panel. With additional machine vision option, this process becomes fully automatic, enabling the simultaneous processing of standard horizontally wired bales and cross-wired bales.

Machine vision recognizes which wires are on top and operates the machine so that the bale is in the intended position to be dewired. Machine vision saves time and makes the job easier for the operator. The automatic solution makes the infeed part of the line as simple as possible.

Because the bale turning unit is an attachment to the Dewiring machine, it is compact and easily modified for different spaces. Cross Wrap was the first to bring a dewiring solution to the plastic recycling field and we continue to innovate for the benefit of our customers.

WHY USE OUR SOLUTION FOR CROSS-WIRED BALES?

• Same operation line dewires both horizontal and cross-wired bales
• The bale turning unit can be added to an existing Dewiring machine
• Increases workplace safety compared to manual bale dewiring
• Increases process efficiency with automation
• Compact machine is easy to fit in many kinds of spaces
• One person can load the bales and operate the machine by remote controller from forklift cabin or by the control panel of the machine
• Machine vision for deducing the needed steps to dewire each bale correctly (additional feature)
