Apparatus for impregnating surfaces, including edge surfaces, of fiberglass
insulation batts with synthetic fibers, comprising a conveyor for
advancing the batts in a common direction and, initially, in a
side-by-side orientation. Separators thereafter interrupt the side-by-side
orientation, exposing the edges of the batts. Extrusion heads located in
the area of side edge exposure impregnate the exposed edges with synthetic
fibers while other extruder heads apply synthetic fibers to one or
optionally both of the top and bottom surfaces.
