  • FLEXIBLE CARPET CUSHION AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20150375489
    Abstract: A system for continuously producing flexible carpet cushion having a mixing assembly positioned proximate to a slat press that is configured to dispense an uncured polyurethane (PU) foam onto a lower substrate associated with the moving lower plate of the slat press. As the uncured PU foam enters the slat press, an upper substrate associated with the upper plate of the slat press contacts the upper surface of the dispensed PU foam and the PU foam undergoes blowing to a gauged thickness and cures between the upper and lower plates of the slat press.
