Abstract

The invention generally relates to the packaging of compressible material into compressed rolls and in particular, to a method and apparatus for packaging fibreglass insulation and similarly compressible materials, into highly compressed, consistently uniform, rolls. Such rolls are easier and less expensive to handle, store and ship. The main design of the invention is for a roll-up machine which has three continuous belts defining a circular cavity and establishing generally circumferential contact with the compressible material so that the compressible material its under compressive pressure as it is being rolled; means for putting the three continuous belts under tension; means for driving the three continuous belts; and means for feeding the compressible material into the circular cavity.

Claims (29)

1. A roll-up machine for rolling up a compressible material comprising:
three continuous belts defining a circular cavity and establishing generally circumferential contact with said compressible material so that said compressible material is under compressive pressure as it is being rolled;
means for putting said three continuous belts under tension;
means for driving said three continuous belts; and means for feeding said compressible material into said circular cavity.
2. The roll-up machine of claim 1 further comprising a toe plate which shields said compressible material from touching the upper belt of the winding space entry zone, running in the opposite direction, and which does not allow said compressible material to de-compress or expand in the upward direction.
3. The roll-up machine of claim 2 comprising six sufficiently stiff forming rollers, two for each of said three continuous belts, for defining said circular cavity.
4. The roll-up machine of claim 3 further comprising means for coordinating the positions of said six forming rollers, to maintain said circular cavity.
5. The roll-up machine of claim 4 where said six forming rollers are distributed around the roll circumference such that each of said three continuous belt segments is responsible for approximately 120-degrees of the roll circumference.
6. The roll-up machine of claim 3 where the gap between the forming rollers of adjacent continuous belts is kept constant as the diameter of said circular cavity changes.
7. The roll-up machine of claim 6 wherein each said forming roller is mounted in its own set of linear guides, and a hydraulic cylinder is used to position each said forming roller.
8. The roll-up machine of claim 3 further comprising a take-up system to manage belt slack that arises when a roll is ejected.
9. The roll-up machine of claim 3 in which said means for feeding comprises a horizontal conveyor belt.
10. The roll-up machine of claim 9 further comprising means for pre-compressing said compressible material prior to entering said circular cavity.
11. The roll-up machine of claim 10 in which said means for feeding further comprises an inclined belt for compressing said compressible material against said horizontal conveyor belt, wherein said compressible material is increasingly compressed between said inclined belt and said horizontal conveyor belt as said compressible material moves towards said circular cavity.
12. The roll-up machine of claim 11 in which said horizontal conveyor belt is adapted with apertures improving the removal of air from the compressible material during the compression process.
13. The roll-up machine of claim 11 in which said inclined conveyor belt is adapted with apertures improving the removal of air from the compressible material during the compression process.
14. The roll-up machine of claim 12 in which said apertures are operatively connected to a source of negative gauge pressure to assist in removal of air from said compressible material.
15. The roll-up machine of claim 4 wherein said six rollers follow rectilinear paths.
16. The roll-up machine of claim 4 wherein one of said three continuous belts and its associated forming rollers, driving means and tension means, form a system which is mounted on a subframe, said subframe being translatable towards and away from the others of said continuous belts, allowing compressed rolls to be ejected by translating said subframe away from said the others of said continuous belts.
17. The roll-up machine of claim 16 wherein said subframe is mounted on wheels, and the position of said subframe is controlled by a pneumatic cylinder and a suitable control algorithm.
18. The roll-up machine of claim 6 wherein two of said forming rollers are stationary and four of said forming rollers are mounted in linear tracks, said six forming rollers having an initial arrangement wherein they are evenly spaced about a circular configuration.
19. The roll-up machine of claim 18 wherein said four travelling forming rollers follow rectilinear paths at 25 - 45 degrees to the horizontal.
20. The roll-up machine of claim 18 wherein said four travelling forming rollers follow linear paths at 30 degrees to the horizontal.
21. The roll-up machine of claim 15 wherein the system consisting of all three of said continuous belts and their associated forming rollers, driving means and tension means, is translatable towards and away from said means for feeding as the diameter of the roll increases.
22. The machine of claim 15 in which said means for feeding further comprises a flip-flop conveyor which is rotatable between two positions, a first position in which it is in-line with said horizontal conveyor belt and a second position in which it is rotated out of the path of said horizontal conveyor belt, providing a gap into which said continuous belts may expand without interference as the diameter of said compressible material increases.
23. The roll-up machine of claim 20 wherein the position of said forming rollers is changed as a function of the linear quantity of material fed into said roll-up machine.
24. The roll-up machine of claim 23 wherein the position of each of said travelling rollers is positioned by an hydraulic cylinder, controlled by a control algorithm.
25. The roll-up machine of claim 24 wherein said control algorithm increases the tension on said three continuous belts as the diameter of the circular cavity increases, thereby maintaining a substantially constant pressure on the compressible material.
26. The roll-up machine of claim 24 further comprising a take-up system to manage belt slack that arises when a roll is ejected, said take-up system including an air cylinder.
27. The roll-up machine of claim 24 further comprising a take-up system to manage belt slack that arises when a roll is ejected, said take-up system including a spring.
28. The roll-up machine of claim 4 wherein one of said three continuous belts and its associated forming rollers, driving means and tension means, form a system which is mounted on a subframe, said subframe being rotatable away from said circular cavity, allowing compressed rolls to be ejected by rotating said subframe away from said the others of said continuous belts.
29. A method of operation for a roll-up machine for rolling up a compressible material, said roll-up machine including three continuous belts defining a circular cavity, said method comprising the steps of:
putting said three continuous belts under tension;
driving said three continuous belts; and feeding said compressible material into said circular cavity, establishing generally circumferential contact with said compressible material so that said compressible material is under compressive pressure as it is being rolled.
