It’s like a thick clothing material , don’t think I can cut with a knife , if I could probably takes more time.

Sounds like you're preparing cocaine or am I just confused here.

If it doesn't work you can always take it back
Looks like it got a pretty small gap to push the material under

If it's like any regular paper guillotine, the blade/handle part will open 90degrees.

You can get actual cotton cutting scissors like these that are super sharp and spring back themselves which would help you significantly. Halves your effort at very least.

Might be abit too small

In a factory you would have a fixed blade that you pulled the cotton back toward you against.
Or possibly line up a bunch of the cotton, then use a guillotine.
Do you have like an example photo or something?

Have a look through this search result

What are you making packing peanuts out of cotton? Styrofoam is cheap.

Not for packing lol.

My suggestions:
- Try cutting a length(s) then cutting multiple at a time instead of one by one from the end of a very long piece
- Buy cotton balls instead
- Become a hand model

Cutting multiple at a time could work with an guillotine

Those rollers could work with a self healing mat

Ask the supplier to provide the product in X cm lengths. The probably have the industrial strength equipment to do it efficiently.

You know you can buy it already in balls?
What is your budget? And just how much are you cutting? I can suggest a few machines, but no point if you are only cutting 1m a day or your budget is $15…
laying out lines and cutting it with a knife/scalpel seems like it would be more efficient
