Rubber Bale Cutter Machine
- A quick method of cutting large rubber slabs/bales
- Ideal for small and large production requirements
- Significant time and safety advantages over manual methods of cutting
- High quality precision cutting
Rubber Bale Cutter
The Barwell Rubber Bale Cutter cuts large slabs or bales of rubber into smaller sections for ease of processing. The manageable cut sections are ideal to throw onto a mill or into a mixer.
The normal use of a bale cutter is to cut the large slabs of raw material e.g. natural rubber and synthetic Rubber. The resulting smaller pieces are then mixed to make the compound needed for the processor’s final product.
It is ideal for production applications as well as high-volume laboratory applications.

Enhanced Safety
Health and safety are a primary concern for those responsible for machine maintenance and operator safety. Barwell machines are manufactured with safety in mind.
The Barwell Rubber Bale Cutter has PILZ safety relays and sensors. Interlocking movable guards to BS EN ISO 14120:2015 ensures operator safety.
How does the Bale Cutter work?
The high-precision hydraulic-powered cutter will cut the rubber into pieces of rubber to a predetermined selected size. Bales can be fed through the machine. The cut rubber travels through the machine on machine hardened rollers which ensures smooth movement.
- Check blade is in the up position.
- Open the gate.
- Place slab of rubber along the cutting edge.
- Leave the cage area and close the gate.
- Press the cut button to lower the blade to cut the rubber slab.
- Blade rises after the cut sequence; wait until the blade is fully up.
- Open the gate to remove the cut pieces.
- Repeat the cycle.
