Abstract
A method for forming an insulation product includes centrifuging irregular glass fibers using a rotary process, collecting the fibers as a pack, continuously withdrawing a portion of the fibers from the pack to generate a continuous yarn of fibers, and pneumatically propelling the yarn toward a receptacle, such as an insulation cavity, to form an insulation product. Also, a strand of continuous, irregular textile fibers can be payed out from a wound package and pneumatically propelled toward a receptacle, such as an insulation cavity, to form an insulation product.
