A wheeled system and a method for installing insulation from bound insulation bales. At least one movable wall that continually moves unbound insulation bales by a drive means toward a dispensing end of the base where shredding of the insulation from the unbound insulation bales occurs. The shredding is accomplished by a plurality of picker drums. Each of the picker drums has positioned on the circumference a plurality of abraders in the form of scoops that abrade and remove clumps of insulation from the unbound bales permitting the clumps to fall into a blender wherein the insulation material is formed into particulate material and then cast into an air blower formed with the hose and nozzle for dispensing the blowing material. A force measurer including a strain gauge is operatively connected to the shredder to determine continuously changes in the horizontally directed force exerted by the insulation bales against the drums of the shredder in order to adjust the force. The system can also include an electronic member for determining and monitoring the amount of insulation material dispensed and for automatically controlling the dispensing of insulation by the system.

Baled insulation material blowing apparatus and method

An insulation material spraying apparatus for using dry material and wet recycle material having, at least two hoppers for separately receiving the materials, at least one auger for receiving the materials for conveyance longitudinally of the auger, an accumulator chamber for receiving the materials and having at least one mixer rotatable about an axis for separately mixing and expanding the volume of the materials, a flow stabilizer to form a mixture of the wet and dry material and a pneumatic transport for receiving and dispensing the mixed insulation material. A process of spraying a mixture of dry material and wet recycle material from a single pneumatic transport using a dry material hopper and a wet recycle hopper, separately conveying the materials to an accumulator chamber, separately mixing and expanding the volume of the dry and wet recycle materials, mixing the dry material and the wet recycle material together, directing the mixture of the dry material and the wet recycle material into a pneumatic transport, and then dispensing and spraying the mixture.
