Uncrating
Fluff feed systems are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and
contained in a cardboard box.
1. Pry the crating away from the skid.
Note: Remove the nails holding the box to the skid and lift the box
off carefully; avoiding staples in the 1’ x 4’ wood supports.
Cut the steel banding.
2. Use a pry bar to remove the blocks securing the unit to the skid.
3. Lift unit from sides. Use a pry bar if necessary to carefully remove the
skid from the unit.
4. Lower slowly.

Mounting Hopper (Units with Remote Grinders)
1. Remove the material supply hopper from the extruder.
2. Install the fluff feed hopper assembly on the extruder throat. The holes
will normally have to be drilled to match the extruder flange.
Note: When installing, check the vertical segmented flight auger to ensure that
it is within ½” to ¾” from the top of the extruder screw flight (See figure
1). This will ensure proper feeding of the fluff / pellet mixture without
bridging.
