ABSTRACT:
A bale opener assembly includes a travelling apparatus detaching fiber tufts from surfaces of fiber bales supported along the travel path; and a fiber tuft removing apparatus for removing the fiber tufts from the travelling apparatus by suction. The fiber tuft removing apparatus has a stationary suction channel extending along the travel path and having a longitudinal aperture oriented generally parallel to the travel path; a flexible cover belt stationarily covering major length portions of the longitudinal aperture; a guide mechanism mounted on the travelling apparatus for deflecting the cover belt away from and then back onto the longitudinal aperture, whereby in the suction channel a fiber tuft intake opening is provided which co-travels with the travelling apparatus and through which fiber tufts are introduced into the suction channel from the travelling apparatus during operation. The longitudinal aperture is provided laterally along the suction channel and the cover belt is, along the longitudinal aperture, oriented at an angle to the horizontal other than zero.
