Baling wire is essential in the recycling industry: without it, it would be far more difficult to collect, transport and handle the large amounts of waste materials that enter the recycling process. However, the extensive use of wire means that recycling facilities face the challenge of dewiring the bales efficiently and safely.

“It is a complex task, which is usually done manually or with limited mechanical assistance,” explains Rok Mežič, Head of Development at Stadler. “However, manual removal is time-consuming and labour-intensive, and poses safety risks for workers. In our sorting plant projects and speaking with our customers, we saw that this was a significant pain point in the existing process and decided to develop a solution to address the issue efficiently. The result is our new WireX, which fully automates the process, dewiring bales in a single pass. It significantly increases the efficiency of the process and the sorting line’s capacity, as well as improves workers safety. We believe that WireX fills a critical gap in the market, aligning closely with our customers’ needs and setting new industry standards.”
