An improved debridger is provided in one or more storage bins in a
cellulose insulation manufacturing plant which minimizes the bridging of
the cellulose insulation across the storage bins between an inlet at the
top thereof and an auger-fed outlet at the lower end thereof. The
debridger comprises a vertical rotatable shaft having a plurality of
horizontally extending arms for agitating the insulation and minimizing
bridging. The arms or vanes on the auger vary in length and are removable
from the vertical shaft for installation of the shaft in the bins. The
shaft is rotatably driven by power means located outside of the storage
bin.
