ABSTRACT:
A fiber module, or block of compacted fiber material, is conveyed and broken apart, or separated, into many loose uncompacted fibers. In the method a fiber module is removed from a carrier and moved upon a shuttle carriage, which is moved laterally into axial alignment with a horizontal bed. The fiber module is conveyed onto the bed and then conveyed along the bed to a breaker device, wherein the fiber module is broken apart.
The apparatus useful for carrying out the above method includes, in combination, a shuttle carriage capable of lateral movement with respect to a generally horizontal bed, the bed having a plurality of sets of power driven rollers disposed within it; and a breaker device having a plurality of rotary breaker tubes located within it.
