Fiber Conditioning and Minimizing Waste

Your Volu-Matic 500 machine is primarily a material conditioning and air conveying system along with a vacuum recovery system. Fibers are conditioned or opened to the proper density by mechanisms in the hopper, the shredder, and then air conveyed into sidewall or attic by the blower, airlock feeder, and hose. Excess material sprayed into a sidewall cavity can be re-introduced into the hopper to blend with new material eliminating waste.
