ABSTRACT:
The method and equipment for removing the straps tied around a bale of cotton comprises the steps of: 1. lifting and transporting the bale by a forklift to an impact cutter provided with a long horizontal cutter blade, 2. pushing the bale towards the cutter blade, whereby the impact cutter is operated by contact of the bale with an electric switch, and the straps are cut in one place each by the rapid motion of the cutter blade, 3. lifting the bale by means of the forklift until the free ends of the straps flap over the lower of two rollers of a strap-pulling device and lowering the upper of the two rollers into contact with the straps and the lower roller, 4. switching on the motor of the strap-pulling device, whereby the rotating rollers pull the straps off the bale, and 5. carrying the bale to its destination.
