Publication number: 20230357992Abstract: A system and method of producing a moulded article, e.g. a one-piece container, comprises delivering a fibre suspension to a porous mould and removing a suspending liquid (e.g. water) via pores of the porous mould. An inflatable bladder is inserted into the mould in a collapsed state and then inflated to apply pressure to internal walls of the article to remove water content. A wet embryonic form of the container is then transferred to a non-porous mould where an inflatable bladder applies internal pressure to compress the walls and remove further water content. The container is further dried by microwave and/or air drying and may be coated with a protective layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Adam Richard Turner, Natasha Wilson, Joshua Lanzon-Miller, Jonathan Morris, Antony Robin Burness, Andrew William Norfolk, Benjamin Rhys Williams, Amy Joanne King, Rupert Anthony Barton, Paul Clifford Smith
