apparatus 1 shown in the enclosed drawing is one embodiment of the present invention, comprising aninner drum 2 withoval openings 3 in theinner drum wall 4, an inlet opening 5 at one end and anend wall 6 closing off the other end of theinner drum 2. Theouter drum 7 has a closedouter drum wall 8, which on theinner side 9 is provided withhelical conveyor blades 10 for driving the fibre material towards the outlet opening 11 of theouter drum 7 at one end of theouter drum 7.

Theouter drum 7 is in one embodiment operated to rotate in response to the output from a weighing unit with a receiving part (not shown) for receiving the fibres from the outlet opening 11 of theouter drum 7 as indicated by the arrows inFig. 4 .
