Abstract: A cellulosic insulation blowing machine comprised of a base having a circular and shaped floor plate at its upper end and a cylindrical hopper assembly which is detachably connected over the floor plate. The shaped floor plate includes a circular horizontal center section, an integral upstanding annular vertical section and an upper outwardly and upwardly sloped section. Within the floor plate area is an agitator rotated at relatively low rpm which includes plural shaped arms corresponding to the contour of the floor plate such that the arms travel generally parallel to the foor plate. The material discharge opening is located along the vertical wall section of the floor plate and is connnected to a blower. An anti-spin bar is supported from the hopper assembly and spaced slightly above the arms of the agitator such that when the hopper is connected in an operating position, the bar is disposed diametrically over the floor plate center section in front of the discharge opening.

Abstract: A cellulosic insulation blowing machine is disclosed. The machine has a base which includes an upper horizontal floor plate. A motor driven agitator assembly is mounted above the floor plate and includes a plurality of generally horizontal cross arms which are spaced a short distance above the floor plate. The floor plate defines at least one opening adjacent the periphery of the floor plate. The opening is in communication with an enclosed housing, a blower, and an air valve. A cylindrical hopper is removably mounted on the base. The hopper includes a generally vertical wall. Insulation is placed in the top of the hopper and is urged by gravity and the cross arms towards the opening. The insulation passes through the housing to the blower which directs the insulation outwardly through a discharge conduit to a space to be insulated.
