The present invention concerns a packaging unit (1) for several pipe sections (2) of mineral wool with a packaging material (5), which surrounds the several pipe sections (2) to form the packaging unit (1), with the packaging material (5) arranged around the pipe sections (2) under pressure, the pipe sections (2) are folded within the packaging unit (1) with reduction of the pipe section cavity, and the pipe sections (2) are formed elastically such that, in the folded state, recovery forces for restoring the unfolded initial shape are built up. By means of the packaging unit (1) of the invention, several pipe sections (2) can be transported and stored very economically. In this connection, pipe sections (2) are not restricted in their functionality, but, after removal from packaging unit (1), may be used directly and without restriction, e.g., to insulate chimneys.
Packaging unit (1) for several pipe sections (2) of mineral wool with a packaging material that at least partially envelops or surrounds several pipe sections (2) to form packaging unit (1), characterised by the fact that the packaging material is arranged around pipe sections (2) under pressure, pipe sections (2), as a result of the pressure, are folded within packaging unit (1) with reduction of the pipe section cavity, and pipe sections (2) are formed elastically such that, in the folded state, recovery forces for restoring the unfolded initial shape are built up.
