In the description and drawings a final fiberglass product is disclosed. The final fiberglass product may have a fiber curl layer, a fiber skin layer, and a fiber loft layer between the fiber curl layer and the fiber skin layer. The fiber curl layer may be on an unfiltered air entry side of the final fiberglass product and have a plurality of generally sinusoidal fiber bundles therein.

Fiberglass product

In the description and drawings a method of forming a fiberglass mat is disclosed. A drum is rotated, a molten fiberglass material is fed through at least one orifice of a furnace while rotating the drum, and the relative position of the orifice with respect to a location on the drum is altered while rotating the drum and feeding the molten fiber glass material through the orifice to build up a fiberglass matt along a traverse length.

Method of manufacturing a fiberglass mat

In the description and drawings methods and apparatus for the compression and winding of a plurality of overlapped fibrous blankets are disclosed. The methods and apparatus may allow a leading edge of a trailing blanket to be overlapped with a trailing edge of a leading blanket that is being wound by a compressing winder assembly. As the compressing winder assembly winds the leading blanket, the trailing blanket may be moved downstream by the leading blanket and an overlapped portion of the two blankets may move through a compression zone of a winder feed chute.
