A rotary mill is configured to cut fibrous insulation material into tufts
of loosefil insulation. A housing of the mill has a rotary cutter
assembly mounted therein having a plurality of radially outwardly
extending vanes extending to the housing and being configured to sweep
along the housing in a machine direction. A screen having a plurality of
screen openings is positioned in the housing, each screen opening having
an effective opening size. The screen comprises an inner plate having a
plurality of inner openings formed therethrough and an outer plate having
a plurality of outer openings formed therethrough. The inner openings
correspond with the outer openings to define the screen openings, and the
screen openings have an effective cutting edge oriented transversely to
the machine direction. The inner and outer plates are mounted for
movement relative to each other so the effective opening size of the
screen openings can be changed. The length of the effective cutting edges
of the screen openings are kept substantially constant regardless of any
change in the size of the screen openings.
