Saalasti Cross Wrap’s Wire cutters are compact machines that cut the wires in bales that are tied without plastic wrapping. Automating the cutting guarantees steady material flow on your line and most importantly increases the workplace safety of your workers.
The Wire Cutter is designed for facilities that don’t need a full dewiring machine but still want to eliminate the safety risks and inefficiencies of manual wire cutting. It’s a compact, affordable, and reliable solution for both the paper recycling and waste management industries.
A simple and reliable solution that performs day after day tirelessly. It’s built on the same cutter technology as our Bale Opener and Dewiring machines, and tested and proven in demanding industrial conditions.
Benefits – Why choose Cross Wrap’s Wire Cutter
Safety First Automates the cutting of high-tension wires, protecting workers from the risks of manual cutting.
Automate Achieve smooth and continuous material flow with an automated solution. In the paper industry, where there’s a ragger rope in the pulper, the cutting of the bale becomes fully automatic with the Wire cutter.
Efficiency Guarantees steady material flow by eliminating time-consuming manual cutting. Low maintenance and operational costs.
Affordable Automation A cost-effective way to increase automation without investing in a full dewiring system.
Flexible Integration Compact design makes it easy to retrofit into existing lines with minimal modifications
If you want to open any other baled material, please ask from our experts.
Different models with same capabilities
ROTARY CUTTER is a fully automatic bale wire cutting unit to open transversal top wires or straps. The machine is easily integrated into existing conveyor system. The cutter floats on top of the bale and cuts the wires at the speed of the conveyor offering big capacity. The Unit is easy to maintain and has low maintenance costs due to the robust structure.
LINEAR CUTTER is a fully automatic bale wire cutting unit for longitudinal top wires or straps. The machine is easily integrated into existing conveyor system. The cutter automatically stops and starts the conveyor while the bale arrives at the cutting area.
CROSS CUTTER has both linear and rotary wire cutting units for cutting longitudinal and transversal bale wires or straps. The machine can be integrated into existing conveyor system.

Conveyors
Cross Wrap’s custom-built conveyors provide reliable material flow between material processing stages. Designed for durability and precision.
Integrates an automatic scale directly into the line. It records bale or package weights, improving traceability and production monitoring. Note: Additional conveyor is needed.
It is best for bales tied with wires only, without plastic film wrapping.
Yes, the cutter is compact and can be easily retrofitted with minimal modifications.
The Dewiring Machine cuts, removes, and coils wires automatically. The Wire Cutter focuses only on cutting wires – a simpler but still highly effective solution.
Capacity depends on the machine. Rotary cutter’s capacity is 60 bales / hour, Linear and cross cutter’s capacities are 40 bales/ hour. Detailed bale sizes can be found from our product brochure, please download here.
