<p>A device for cutting off wrapping strings or bands (4) on wrapped articles, such as bales of pulp (1), comprises a cutting-edge holder (15) which, from a first inoperative position located outside the boundary surfaces of the wrapped article (1), can be projected along a path of movement towards the article to a second position in which the cutting edge is located at least in the same plane as one of the boundary surfaces of the article. The device further comprises a sensor (19) for sensing, while the article is moving in the longitudinal direction in relation to the device, the position of a separate wrapping string (4) and causing the cutting-edge holder (15) to project towards the article in order to cut off the wrapping string when this crosses the path of movement of the cutting-edge holder.</p> |
