Material distributor (often known as Fluffer or Ruffler):
is retractable and used to break up compacted newspaper or disperse bundled newspaper and magazines in the feed hopper to produce a more uniform bale. It is a rotary blade driven by an electric motor into the hopper immediately above the baling chamber and speed up the loading in the press chamber bundled materials which weren’t pre-conditioned before baling.
It is moved into the baler hopper through hinged doors and it distributes bundled, compacted material, which is extremely difficult to bale such as magazines, folders, hard cover books, newspapers and coated paper by high speed rotating.
