  • Patent number: 12415330
    Abstract: A forming mould system (3) for forming a cellulose product (1) from an air-formed cellulose blank structure (2), where the forming mould system (3) comprises a first mould part (4a) and a second mould part (4b). The first mould part (4a) and the second mould part (4b) are configured for moving in relation to each other in a pressing direction (DP). The second mould part (4b) comprises a forming cavity section (5) and an inlet section (6), where the inlet section (6) is arranged in connection to the forming cavity section (5) and configured for facilitating displacement of the cellulose blank structure (2) into a forming cavity (5a) of the forming cavity section (5). The inlet section (6) comprises a transition surface (6a) defining an inlet opening (6b), and the inlet opening (6b) is having a tapered configuration towards the forming cavity (5a). The disclosure further relates to a method for forming a cellulose product (1) from an air-formed cellulose blank structure (2) in a forming mould system (3).

  • Patent number: 12208591
    Abstract: A method and system for edge-forming cellulose products from an air-formed cellulose blank structure. The system comprises a first mould part having an edge-forming device with a protruding element configured for compacting and separating fibres of the cellulose blank structure and a second mould part arranged for cooperating with each other. The edge-forming device is movably arranged in relation to a base structure of the first mould part, and is adapted for interacting with a pressure member arranged in the base structure. The method includes the steps: providing the air-formed cellulose blank structure, and forming a compacted edge structure of the cellulose products by separating fibres of the cellulose blank structure with the protruding element, applying an edge-forming temperature, and compacting the cellulose blank structure by applying an edge-forming pressure onto the cellulose blank structure between the protruding element and the second mould part.
