ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for disassociating material such as peat moss from a compressed bale. The apparatus includes a housing having a plurality of substantially vertically stacked agitator assemblies. The agitator assemblies are rotatable in response to an independent hydraulic drive motor attached to one end of the vertical shaft of each agitator spindle partially comprising the agitator assembly. The hydraulic motors are mounted to the exterior of the housing, but receive the aforementioned shafts. A lifting platform is provided within the housing to enable a bale of material to be placed thereon. The lifting platform is hydraulically manipulated such that it may be raised to enable the bale of material to come in contact with the rotating spindles of the agitator assemblies. An exit port is provided in the lowermost portion of the housing to enable the material to be ejected from the housing after it is disassociated from the bale. The operation of the spindle assemblies disassociates material from the bale, but does not shred the material so as to maintain its original particle or strand form.
