Abstract

A fluff producing mill for converting a pulp material into an absorbent fluff product by the operation of a hammer rotor having multiple overlapping hammer clusters which describe a hammer tip circle, and a pulp material feeder positioned to present the pulp material radially into the hammer rotor between a breaker bar and a cooperating guide plate, the feeder supporting the breaker bar so it can be adjusted toward and away from the hammer tip circle to accommodate hammer clearance at the breaker bar.
