Abstract
A barrier film encapsulating apparatus for insulating pipes is proposed, the apparatus comprises: a positioning unit for positioning a insulating pipe to be encapsulated with a barrier film and moving the insulating pipe along an axial direction thereof; at least a molding unit for enclosing a channel space, the channel space having a cross-section similar in shape to a cross-section of the insulating pipe; a guiding unit for guiding a barrier film into the channel space such that the barrier film is rolled via the molding unit into a shape similar to the cross-section of the insulating pipe, so that the barrier film is encapsulated on the insulating pipe when the insulating pipe moves along an axial direction thereof and penetrates the channel space; and an adhering unit for sealing the barrier film encapsulated on the insulating pipe so as to complete the encapsulating process and resolve conventional problems in encapsulating the insulating pipes with the well-insulative and airtight barrier film.
