The present invention provides a multi-purpose collection system for use in the simultaneous manufacture of loose fibrous mineral material and insulation blankets or mats from the forming machine. The loose fibrous mineral material is directly intercepted from the fiberizer units of the forming machine and requires no post-processing steps other than separation and packaging.

Apparatus and method for the manufacture of loose fibrous mineral

The apparatus of each embodiment includes a suction housing having a perforated duct therein. Fibrous material supplied to the inlet of the duct is compacted by air being evacuated through the perforated sidewall of the duct. The continuous compacting of fibrous material aids in moving the already compacted material out the outlet of the duct.
