Abstract
A method for forming an insulation product based on a composite of mineral wool and another first material comprising the steps of: (1) forming mineral wool fibers using at least one fiberizing device; (2) introducing the first material to the formed mineral wool fibers at a location proximate the fiberizing device to form a first mixture; (3) drawing the first mixture into a collector to form a structure having a predetermined thickness; and (4) subsequently processing the first mixture to form the insulation product, wherein the first material is disposed throughout the insulation product.
Claims21
A mineral wool and fiberglass composite insulation product formed by the process comprising the steps of:
- generating mineral wool fibers using at least one fiberizing device;
- pre-processing recycled fiberglass material to form fiberglass nodules of pre-selected size;
- delivering the fiberglass nodules to a location proximate the at least one fiberizing device to cause the fiberglass nodules to mix with the mineral wool fibers to form a first mixture that is subsequently received within a collector that allows a structure formed in the collector to have a predetermined thickness;
- and
- processing the first mixture to form the mineral wool and fiberglass composite insulation product.
An insulation product formed by the process comprising the steps of:
- generating mineral wool fibers using at least one fiberizing device;
- pre-processing recycled material that is formed substantially of a first material to form nodules of pre-selected size;
- delivering the nodules to a location proximate the at least one fiberizing device to cause the nodules to mix with the mineral wool fibers to form a first mixture that is subsequently received within a collector that allows a structure formed in the collector to have a predetermined thickness;
- and
- processing the first mixture to form the insulation product.
