Cranston - Side Knotter

Cranston’s Side Knotter is specifically designed for wet pulp bales. Wet pulp bales up to 1000mm/40” wide and between 600-1500mm/24-60“high. It can apply (2) wires to a typical bale in (15) seconds, including conveying time (240 bales per hour). Wire diameter is typically 2.18mm/13.5awg. The wire knot is located on side of bale reducing product contamination in the knotter and allows the machine to be inserted into either a separate Side Knotter conveyor or, providing a proper gap is present, between (2) standard conveyors. Side Knotter’s have integrated hydraulic power units and use Cranston’s EZ thread coil cages.
