Abstract: An apparatus (1) for the entry and exit of a fabric (20) in an insulated container (15), with an internal atmosphere different from that of the external environment, comprising a container (15) delimiting a cavity (25) adapted to internally receive said fabric (20), the container (15) having an entry channel (16) for said fabric (20), in communication with said cavity (25) and with a slot (13) of a base (12), said base (12) being shaped with a cylindrical groove (19), the slot (13) being arranged at the centre of the groove (19), a roller (10) having an external rubber coating (11), the roller (10) being cylindrical with a first radius of curvature (r') and having an extension axis (W-W) parallel to a longitudinal direction (X-X), said roller being motorised so as to rotate around said extension axis (W-W), a felt (30) interposed between the external rubber coating (11) of the roller (10) and the base (12), at least partially wrapped around said external rubber coating (11), the felt (30) having a thickness (S) and an inner non-breathable layer (31), below an outer surface (32) thereof which comes into contact with said fabric (20), on the side opposite to the external rubber coating (11) of the roller (10). Advantageously, during operation, the roller (10) is arranged against the slot (13) at the centre of the groove (19) of the base (12), so as to compress the rubber coating (11) and the felt (30), which deform by completely wrapping the fabric (20), insulating the interior of the container (15) from the external environment.
