A machine for distributing blowing insulation including a shredding
chamber configured to shred and pick apart the blowing insulation. The
shredding chamber includes a plurality of low speed shredders, an
agitator and a discharge mechanism. The agitator is mounted for rotation
and rotates toward the discharge mechanism. The discharge mechanism
includes a side inlet configured to receive the blowing insulation from
the agitator. A baffle is disposed between the agitator and the discharge
mechanism. The baffle is configured to partially obstruct the side inlet
of the discharge mechanism. The baffle allows finely shredded blowing
insulation to enter the side inlet of the discharge mechanism and directs
heavy clumps of blowing insulation past the side inlet of the discharge
mechanism for eventual recycling into the low speed shredders.
