Abstract
A self-loading machine for dispersing material contained in large bales. The machine has a generally trough shaped body with a movable side which lowers to engage a bale and raises to load the bale into the machine. A cylindrical rotor is made up of a series of plates having hammers which are pivotally attached at alternate locations between the plates. The machine is also provided with a conveyor which, in conjunction with the action of the rotor, serves to tumble a round bale as material is removed and peel off material from the bottom of a rectangular bale. As material is removed from the bale, it is mixed with air generated by the rotor and discharged in a uniform stream at high velocity from the machine.
