ABSTRACT:
A chute feed assembly for opening and moving fibers through a chute delivery system into an infeed chute for an opening station. The chute feed assembly includes a beater for opening the fibers which is drivable in a selected of two directions. The beater delivers the opened fibers into a fiber batt forming chute where they are formed into a fiber batt which is then delivered to further processing. The infeed air flow is assisted by providing non-friction chute surfaces to allow even fiber flow throughout the chute. Also, the air flows of densified air controlled across the fiber batt forming channel to provide for even fiber distribution of selected density. The assembly provides for all drive motors to be mounted outside the interior of the chute feed assembly reducing heat build-up within the chute feed assembly.
