1. A device for compressing loose-fill cellulose thermal insulation material into blocks of insulation comprising:
a support surface having a first surface region for receiving and supporting loose-fill cellulose thermal insulation material thereon and a second surface region for supporting thereon compressed blocks of cellulose thermal insulation,
a compression device defining a compression surface, wherein the compression surface is configured to compress the loose-fill cellulose thermal insulation material into the compressed blocks of cellulose thermal insulation having a density of at least 160 kg/m3 while the cellulose thermal insulation material is supported on the support surface,
a feeding device for feeding the loose-fill thermal insulation material onto the support surface at the first surface region thereof, and
means for adjusting a cross-sectional area of the blocks of compressed cellulose thermal insulation material comprising an adjustable wall and at least one screw which are configured to allow vertical adjustment of the adjustable wall at an entrance of an opening defined by the adjustable wall, two side walls and the support surface, wherein
the compression device is adapted for reciprocal movement in a direction parallel to the support surface between a first position, wherein the compression device is positioned near the first surface region of the support surface to allow the feeding device to feed the loose-fill cellulose thermal insulation material onto the first surface region of the support surface, and a second position near the second surface region of the support surface, and wherein
during movement of the compression device from the first position to the second position thereof, the loose-fill cellulose thermal insulation material fed by the feeding device onto the first surface region of the support surface is compressed into the compressed blocks of cellulose thermal material at the second surface region of the support surface.
