A machine for packing compressible low density loose fill cellulose
insulation material into flexible bags. A machine includes a hopper for
receiving bulk quantities of loose fill insulation material. A metered
feed mechanism is sequentially operable to discharge measured amounts of
the loose insulation material from the hopper to an upright charging tube.
Below the tube is mounted a container receiving mechanism and a container
enclosure mechanism. Empty flexible insulation receiving bags are mounted
to the receiving mechanism and located in position directly below the
charging tube. The enclosure mechanism is operated to close about the
periphery of the empty container while a compactor mechanism operates to
compress the preselected amount of insulation into the waiting container.
Once the container is packed, the enclosure mechanism opens to allow the
filled container to be removed and an empty container mounted in its
place.
