METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREPARING RELEASE PAPER ROLLS OF ADHESIVE INSULATION MATERIAL AND RELEASE PAPER ROLLS OF ADHESIVE INSULATION MATERIAL WHICH ARE STACKABLE AND NON-ADHERENT TO EACH OTHER

摘要

A method and apparatus is disclosed for preparing release paper rolls of adhesive duct insulation material which are stackable and non-adherent to each other. The adhesive insulation material contemplated is the type used for sealing crevices and spaces in air cooling and leaking systems generally referred to as “Heating, Ventilation and Cooling” systems, or “HVAC”. The apparatus and method disclosed dispenses strips (16) of the adhesive insulation material onto release paper (20) generally silicone coated on at least one side, leaving a marginal tab (30) which is then bent upwardly to contact each alternate side face (32) of the insulation strips (16) to protect them from adhering to each other when placed in a shipping container. This system thus avoids the need for inserting a sheet of interface paper between the rolls to prevent them from sticking to each other.
