bale breakers
- Scope note
- Automated machines, typically comprising various lattices and rollers, used to separate and loosen the fibres of raw cotton bales before they are mixed into yarn, cloth, or other usable fabric. After being manually fed through the machine's conveyors, the bales encounter multiple sets of rapidly rotating rollers which reduce them to a more malleable state for mixing.
