A method for passing a material through a rotary air lock feeder. The method of the present invention includes the step of receiving a bale of material into a hopper of the rotary air lock feeder such that a length of the bale is substantially parallel to an axis of a rotor within the hopper. The material is pulled into portions in substantially a uniform manner relative the length of the bale. Each portion of material passes through the hopper so that each portion maintains a substantially uniform density along its length. Each portion of material is received into a cylinder of the rotary air lock feeder wherein the bale of material is processed through the rotary air lock feeder in a consistent manner and the rotary air lock feeder discharges the material in substantially a uniform manner.
