  • Fluff distributor
    Patent number: 4108584
    Abstract: A fluff distributor comprises a fluff chamber, two or more vacuum screens in said chamber and onto which screens fluff is laid in batts. The screens have separately controllable drive mechanism whereby each screen can be independently driven at a desired rate of speed. Accordingly, the volume of fluff output from said chamber for each screen is similarly separately controllable. Each screen supplies fluff to one of several converting machines. The converting machines can operate at different rates of speed requiring different volumes of fluff and by reason of the separate control for each distributor screen, the same fluff distributor can supply fluff to different converting machines operating at different demand levels for fluff.
