METHOD OF INCREASING FILLING CAPACITY OF CHICKEN FEATHER AND DEVICE FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B68G3/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to material science of producing beddings with chicken feather filler. The disclosed device for increasing filling capacity of chicken feathers has a storage bin-batcher 2 with a loading hatch 1, an agitator 3, a transportation channel 4 with a guide grid 6, a chamber 5 with a modifying roll 7 with a straight-toothed incision and a press roll 8 with flexible coating, a transporting ventilator 9, a channel 10, a chamber 11 with connecting pipes 12 and 15 and filters 13 and 14. The transporting ventilator 9 which creates a vacuum, enables to successively fed feathers to rolls 7 and 8 with the concave side up on the transportation channel 4 through the guide grid 6 and the storage bin-batcher 2 and moving material to the chamber 11 after modification for unloading. The disclosed method involves loading material into the storage bin-batcher 2 through a hatch 1, where the material is loosened by the agitator 3. At the output of the transportation channel 4 the feather is aligned with concave side up through the guide grid 6 and enters chamber 5 where it is modified by rolls 7 and 8. The press roll 8 provides the required value of pressure on the shaft of the feather when rolling between rolls 7 and 8. Further, the feather is moved by the ventilator 9 along channel 10 into chamber 11, from which besides accumulation, it is unloaded through connecting pipe 12.

EFFECT: higher filling capacity of small and large chicken feathers and reduced overall dimensions of the installation.
