Abstract

A forming bucket for use in the preparation of gas attenuated fiber insulation products includes a tubular member having a fiber inlet and a fiber outlet. The tubular member has a conical portion disposed between the fiber inlet and the fiber outlet. The conical portion has a smooth curvilinear surface for minimizing turbulence in a fiber stream flowing through the forming bucket during the gas attenuation process.
