this prototype in a practical apparatus the machine will either automatically or manually allow for adjustments in the air pressure at the end of filling the first eight compartments the elongate members 17 or the frame 24 supporting the duvet case 16 can be moved to the side to allow the elongate members to be inserted into the next series of compartments so that they can be filled in the preferred embodiment shown in fig7 to 11 the apparatus will be described with similar parts from the first example being referenced by the same numerals in this example the fluidizing drum 1 is mounted with its axis vertical the fluidizing drum 1 is supported beneath a feed or secondary hopper 25 which is supplied with soft knops from main hopper drum 26 rotating at approximately 1 rev per min counterclockwise as is shown in the plan view fig8 the main hopper drum 26 can hold a minimum of 75 kg of soft knops on command from a level sensor 27 of the secondary hopper 25 a material handling fan 28 sucks up through trailing hose 29 soft knops at a rate of 2 3 kg min and blows it into the intermediate hopper 25 a fine water jet is sprayed onto the soft knops as they pass through the fan to suppress any static electricity generation secondary hopper 25 holds 1 2 kg of soft knops and on command from level sensor 2 a fan 30 slowly revolves and dribbles soft knops down into the fluidizing drum 1 the fan 30 is driven by a motor 10 through a clutch 31 the.
