DEVICE FOR COMPRESSING BLOCKS OF INSULATION AND METHOD FOR COMPRESSING BLOCKS OF INSULATION

摘要

The invention relates to a device (100) for compressing thermal insulation material into blocks of insulation comprising: a support surface (110) for the compressed blocks (200) of insulation, a compression device (120) with a compression surface (120a), and a feeding device (130) for feeding thermal insulation material. By adapting the compression device (120) for reciprocal movement between a first position, wherein the feeding device (130) is allowed to feed thermal insulation material to a position on the support surface (110), and a second position, wherein, during movement from the first position to the second position of the compression device, thermal insulation material (200) fed by the feeding device (130) is compressed, highly compressed blocks of thermal insulation material is obtained that are suitable for use with known shredding devices. A corresponding method is also provided.
