ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for severing and removing wires surrounding a bale of pulp are disclosed, as well as a unique severing and coiling head. A bale of pulp is loaded onto a turn conveyor which transports the bale from where it was loaded to the operating position, where a containment disk is lowered onto the top of the bale to restrain the wires wrapped around the bale during severing. A control arm moves a severing head until the head is in contact with the lateral surface of the bale, and keeps it there during the severing and removal process. The turn conveyor rotates the bale through 360 degrees about its vertical axis, thus drawing the severing head across each of the four lateral faces of the bale. In the first 90 degree increment of the bale's rotation, the teeth of a rotating severing blade engage the wires on the first lateral face of the bale and sever them. In the next 90 degree increment of the bale's rotation, the severing blade engages the wires on the second lateral face of the bale and severs them. The next 90 degree increment moves the severing blade across the third lateral face, which is directly opposed to the first lateral face, where the blade encounters the wires it already severed along the first face. The severing blade's teeth engage the wires, pull them free from the bale, and coil them around a spool that is coaxial with the severing blade and attached thereto.
