Abstract

See full text

A fiber bundle reducer such as a cotton module feeder includes a feeder bed incorporating a reciprocating slat conveyor. A module carrying truck drives onto the slat conveyor and unloads a seed cotton module. In one embodiment, a ramp allows the truck to drive onto the slat conveyor. In another embodiment, the slat conveyor is positioned in a pit so the slats are at ground level. In a third embodiment, the slat conveyor is inclined. The conveyor preferably continues to operate as the truck unloads the module. A bearing construction allows removal and replacement of the load supporting bearings without removing the slats. Another bearing construction between adjacent slats allows the construction of longer conveyors.
