OMT BIELLALogo OMT BIELLALOADER BALE BREAKERS / Bale breakers

The bale breakers are useful at the start of the process for the opening of bales of textile fibre. The bale breaker loaders are used to automatically open the bales of textile fibre and then to send the fibre to the fibre blending bins or the carding machines.


OMT BIELLA has been manufacturing bale breakers since 1963 and it therefore has experience in choosing the bale breaker that is best suited to the textile fibre that the customer must open.

There are many models of bale breakers in OMT BIELLA's product range, each is suited to the textile fibre to be opened or to the hourly production requested by the user.

The bale breakers manufactured by OMT BIELLA have a minimum width of 800 mm and a maximum internal width of 4500 mm.

The fibre bale breakers can be used to feed textile fibre breaking machines or systems used to wet or oil textile fibres.

If one installs the textile fibre bale breaker in a row, they can also be used as an excellent textile fibre blending system. For this purpose OMT BIELLA can offer its customers a wide range of installations.

The bale breakers are used to open bales of all main types of textile fibres such as: wool, cotton, linen, polyester, viscose, polypropylene, fibre regenerated from waste and all other natural and artificial textile fibres of all denier and lengths.
