Abstract

The breaking machine comprises a spiked drum mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis. A device feeds fibers to the drum. The feed device includes a horizontal roller of smaller diameter than that of the drum and is positioned laterally tangential to the drum. A device recycles insufficiently opened waste. A system forms the fibers into layers. A mechanism sharpens the spikes of the drum.
