Bale shredding (stone wool)

Bale shredding is used to first loosen and then grind compressed stone wool bales. For this purpose, bales are fed by a stacker through a safety lattice gate onto a roller conveyor and, if necessary, brought into the desired position by a tipping station. After tipping, the fed bales are separated by two conveyor belts. so that wires can be loosened and removed manually, and then conveyed to the bale opener, where they are loosened and shredded.  The pre-shredded material falls through a discharge chute onto another conveyor, which transports the material to a silo plant. In order to separate or retain ferrous foreign bodies, the material is thrown in the form of a discharge parabola against a permanent magnet inside the silo plant.  The stone wool is stored in the silo and can be discharged as required. The discharge from the silo plant is carried out by a circular scraper installed inside the silo plant.
