This unit is designed to move all recycled and new insulation from
the job site and deliver it directly to a designated area such as a filter
bag, vacuum hopper, etc. (See Illust. B)
A common application for this unit is the vacuum hopper system.
Once the insulation has been deposited into the hopper, the air passes
through the perforated mesh screen in the vacuum hopper, where it
is filtered, and exhausted. (See Illust. C on page 8.)
