<p>An apparatus (40) for folding a fibrous insulation batt (12) having a length and a width is disclosed. The batt has first and second sections (22, 24), where each section is approximately one half the length of the batt. The apparatus comprises a lower conveyor (50) for conveying folded batts in a first direction (52), and an upper conveyor (60) which is positioned above the lower conveyor and moves in the first direction to define a folded batt exit path (77). The apparatus further comprises a folding member (64) for folding the insulation batt, where the folding member is adapted to contact the batt across its width. The folding member is mounted for movement to initially push the batt in a second direction (76), and then subsequently push the batt in the first direction, thereby pushing the batt along the folded batt exit path. The movement of the folding member folds the batt so that the first section (22) of the folded batt is generally parallel to and contacting the second section (24).</p> |
