Thanks, that's the kind of info I was looking for. As it stands they have a rotor turning against the big bale to do the initial breakup and it then falls onto a conveyor. Then they had another rotor like the first turning against the flow to break it up. Personally I'm thinking something along the lines of having two rotors with tines turning in such a manner that one will pick up and the material and the other will be timed to where it's tines go between those of the first to knowck it back down onto the conveyor. I figure this way any clumps will get broken up when the tines mesh together, and the regular action of the tines picking the unclumped material up will fluff it enough. The biggest thing is to get it done without breaking up the material too much as it ultimately sold to a major retailer and by my understanding they have certain specifications that have to be met for them to accept it.
Like I said it can be a really profitable thing for this outfit, if we can get it to work without having to have all the extra manual labor to break up the clumps that are escaping the setup they have now.
