[Operation] Waste cotton is supplied to the supply conveyor. At this time, while the compression mechanism is operating, the supply conveyor moves slowly or intermittently to temporarily store the supplied waste cotton on the conveyor, or the supply conveyor may be lowered to increase the storage space. . Furthermore, when it takes time to supply the cotton swabs to the compression mechanism, such as when transferring the cotton swabs to the banding mechanism, the cotton swabs cannot be accumulated because the cotton swabs cannot be accumulated only by slowing down or intermittently moving the supply conveyor. Then, a sufficient space is formed on the upper surface to increase the accumulated amount. When the compression mechanism returns to the receiving state, the supply conveyor remains in the lowered position and the waste cotton placed at high speed is supplied all at once to the press chamber, then the supply conveyor moves to the raised position and returns to normal operation. .
