ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for opening compressed bales of fiber includes means for supporting one or more of said compressed bales of fiber in a row. A reciprocating tower is provided and supported for reciprocating alongside the row of said bales of fiber and has a cantilevered portion which extends over the row of bales of fiber at a height which is adjustable. Reducing means is supported by the cantilevered portion over the top surface of the bales for removing fiber therefrom. A horizontal channel is disposed adjacent to and above the reducing means for receiving fiber removed from the bale by the reducing means. The horizontal channel is connected to a telescoping vertical channel within the tower means for delivering fiber from the reducing means to the discharge channel in the tower when a suction force is created therein. A scanning means is provided for measuring the density of fiber within the horizontal and vertical channel and for generating a signal which corresponds to the density of the fiber measured in the channel and a control means is provided for receiving the signal generated by the scanning means and for adjusting the height of the cantilevered portion so as to maintain a predetermined fiber density within the channels. The scanning means may comprise a light barrier arrangement or an ultrasonic means.
