ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus for collecting and stacking insulation batts or other similar articles and transferring these collections into one of a plurality of packing or compression chambers. The apparatus has a batt-transfer device that operates in a horizontal reciprocating motion, moving a first collection of batts from a collecting surface to a position in a packing chamber located on either side of the collection surface, and cycling back for another collection. Lifting members in each chamber raise the stack up to a predetermined height and holding fingers are inserted underneath this collection to hold them in place. The lifting members then cycle back down to the floor or bottom of the chamber for successive loads with the holding fingers being alternately extended and retracted in sequence to retain the successively larger collection of batts. When one chamber is completely full and a compression plate begins to force all the batts into a smaller unit, the reciprocating batt-transfer device starts transferring insulation batts into another packing chamber on the opposite side of the collection surface. After the compression plate forces the batts into a smaller, more compact unit, a ram pushes this unit through a snout and into a waiting container.
