APPARATUS FOR INSTALLATION OF LOOSE FILL INSULATION AND APPLICATOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

An apparatus for installation of a material having discrete elements. T he apparatus includes a supply of material having discrete elements and an applicator assembly for activating a substantially water-free adhesive far providing structure to the material having discrete elements during installation. In the preferred embodiment, the applicator assembly includes a material nozzle having an inlet for receiving the material and an outlet for discharging a material stream to a surface; and an adhesiv e applicator adjacent to the material nozzle for activating a substantially water-gee adhesive to provide structure to the material having discrete elements during installation. Also, in the preferred embodiment, the adhesive applicator includes at least one impingin g nozzle and at least one tacking nozzle. The apparatus may further include a transporter system downstream of the supply of material having discrete elements for delivery o f the material to the applicator assembly.
