Abstract
Bales made from successive charges of material packed against one another are readily separable into relatively discrete 'flakes' corresponding to the charges of material from which the bale is built. By passing the bale over the top edge of an incline just before reaching disintegrating mechanism, the leading end flakes of the bale are induced to successively separate therefrom for advancement on down the incline and delivery into the disintegrating mechanism on a more or less individual basis, thereby promoting clog-free operation and even feeding.
