Abstract
A fiber conveyor for a fiber blending unit includes a blending belt, wherein fiber material dropped onto the blending belt from a bale opener is transportable away by the blending belt. Opposite guide walls are arranged laterally to the blending belt to guide the fiber material on both sides of the blending belt. A rotary distributor is arranged above the blending belt so that the fiber material dropped onto the blending belt is distributable in a transverse direction of the blending belt between the two guide walls by rotational movement of the rotary distributor.

A fiber conveyor for a fiber blending unit, comprising:
- a blending belt, wherein fiber material dropped onto the blending belt from a bale opener is transportable away by the blending belt;
- opposite guide walls arranged laterally to the blending belt to guide the fiber material on both sides of the blending belt;
- a rotary distributor arranged above the blending belt so that the fiber material dropped onto the blending belt is distributable in a transverse direction of the blending belt between the two guide walls by rotational movement of the rotary distributor;
- wherein the rotary distributor comprises at least one distributor element radially spaced from and rotatable about an axis of rotation;
- and
- wherein the distributor element comprises an L-shape with a first section extending in a vertical direction, a second section extending in a horizontal direction corresponding to a circumferential direction of rotation of the rotary distributor, and a first bend between the first and second sections.
