Why choose THE Cross Wrap Paper Recycling Machine?

There are many reasons we dare to say that our methods are the smartest on the market.

1) Increase production rates; scale up to 80-tonne per hour capacity.

2) Minimize downtimes and ensure a consistent flow of high-quality material - from dewiring in stock preparation to handling wrapped bales.

3) Automatise important steps of your paper recycling processes.

4) Improve operator safety, as you can remove dangerous manual work such as wire cutting by hand.

5) Reduce costs on labor and machine operation with automation.

6) Cut unnecessary energy use: CW machines are designed to work energy-efficiently.

7) Improve your paper recycling process: tightly wrapped bales don't litter, and the energy value of the contents will stay high.

“Our paper recycling machines are suitable for many baler sizes and paper types.”

The smartest way to dewire paper bales

The CW Dewiring Machine offers a revolutionary method of cutting and removing wires from paper bales. As a result, you can say goodbye to timely and even dangerous wire cutting by hand, and in exchange, you will get steady, reliable, and cost-wise production.

The fully automatic machine uses patented grippers to grab the wires from both sides and then front cutters to cut them. The bales are then conveyed forward, and the machine automatically coils metal wires into tight bundles. The wires don’t end up in the pulper process, as they are cut and coiled beforehand.

Automatic dewiring is also good news for maintenance and machine lifecycles. With fewer metal wires entering the pulper, the blades strain less.

Made to meet the changing needs of paper recycling and processing

Our paper recycling technology is designed to help you stay competitive and meet the market’s changing needs.

The trend for recycled paper materials is constantly growing, which means higher efficiency requirements for recycling plants. It is also essential to consider sustainability and intelligent methods in all stages of production.

Our automated solutions allow you to adapt your production to changing needs and market conditions. You can scale capacity without proportionally increasing costs, and handle different recycled fiber qualities and bale sizes.

Customized options for CW paper recycling machine:

  • Machines can be easily integrated with any existing conveyor system.
  • Modular design offers a flexible, space-saving layout that can be customized to fit any production environment.
  • Depending on the pulper process, the wire cutter can also be placed on top of the existing conveyor.
  • Machines are also suitable for Tetra Pak recycling. In the future, we can expect consumer recycling rates to grow, which predicts more Tetra Pak recycling.

Get the most out of the wrapping process

When there is a need to wrap reject or other materials in paper recycling, our bale wrappers are the new-generation solutions.

The bale wrapping machines rely on a fully automatic and unique “all sides covered” wrapping method. The method ensures tightly wrapped bales that stand multiple handlings can also be stored outdoors.

Compared to other machines on the market, The Cross Wrap Bale Wrappers use less plastic film for wrapping. This may sound odd, but using our unique method, we place the film where it matters the most – just the right amount in the right place! This ensures highly durable and economical bales. Plastic film can be recycled, and it is also available made from recycled plastic.

  • Adjustable film use. Bales are wrapped tightly but with only the necessary film amount.
  • The Bale Wrappers can be added with cleaning conveyors, opening safety fencing, weighing, automatic labeling, RFID, and remote access control.

Maintain the value of wrapped bales

With our solutions, your paper recycling plant can effectively handle sidestreams born in the paper recycling process. Relying on automation, you can bale and wrap the rejector side material and use it effectively compared to loose material.

The benefits of cross-wrapping the bales:

  • Maintain the calorific value of the contents of any alternative fuel material.
    Minimize leakage and littering by removing loose material.
  • Handle bales multiple times and transport long-distances.
  • Tightly wrapped square bales can be stored outdoors.

Sonoco Karhula Mill

“Before, we needed to pay to get rid of the uncoiled bale wires, and the pulper emptying was a very labor-intensive operation. Today we get money back from the wire recycling, and the pulper maintenance workload and costs have decreased significantly.”

At the Sonoco Alcore Karhula board mill, the manufacturing core board begins with dewiring incoming raw material OCC bales. Bales are temporarily stored outside before being loaded onto an angled conveyor that transports them to the Cross Wrap Dewiring Machine. The feeding conveyor and the Dewiring Machine are designed to sync with the pulpers, enabling a smooth and efficient production process.
