  • fiber removal from the bale is accomplished as a result of three interdependent functions: air currents created by the beater cylinder 12 and the pneumatic stock removal system, including condenser 73; the scarifying roll 42 which disturbs the under surface of the bale, thus permitting the air currents to have greater effect in pulling the fibers into the path of the teeth on the beater cylinder which removes fibers in small increments, so that by the time the fibers are released from the beater cylinder they are essentially in individual fiber state.

  • the height of the photocell 47 is vertically adjustable so as to establish the maximum size of the bale to be fed onto the cross conveyor 39.
  • the apparatus of the invention is put into operation by pushing the start pushbutton to momentarily close starting contacts 88-1 and 2 to energize the beater cylinder motor 17 and the relay operated timer 92, the closing of contacts 92-2 of which causes the condenser motor 76 to be energized.

  • the conveyor drive motor 56 will run in the reverse direction until the photo relay contacts 46 are operated. This will energize relay 95 which, in turn, will cause the conveyor drive motor to reverse direction and move all the bales carried on the conveyors in the opposite direction. The conveyor drive motor 56 Will continue to run in this direction until the photo relay contacts 47 are operated, at which time reversing relay 95 will again reverse direction of the conveyor drive motor.
