Abstract
A conveyor assembly is configured to convey and maintain compression of multiple compressible batts. Adjacent pairs of conveyor systems within the conveyor assembly define a space between the pair of conveyor systems for receiving and conveying compressible batts. Each pair of adjacent conveyor systems has at least two upper belts in a coplanar relationship. One of the two upper belts travels in an advancing direction and other upper belt travels in a returning direction. Each pair of adjacent conveyor systems also has at least two lower belts in a coplanar relationship. One of the lower belts travels in the advancing direction and the other lower belt travels in the returning direction.
