Method and machine for bonding a flexible coating to a support using electromagnetic waves and lining produced in this way

Machine for the thermobonding of a flexible covering to a support, said machine comprising:

• a housing for a bed of particles fluidized by a flow of gas, said housing having a gas distributer, a diffusion grating, the bed of particles and a flexible cover sheet,
• a gas supply system for supplying a flow of gas into said bed of particles,
• a compression member suitable for pressing the support onto the bed of particles,
• wherein the gas supply system further comprises a nozzle such that said gas supply system is configured to spray water under pressure in the form of a mist of water droplets to obtain a resulting flow of gas, the resulting flow of gas having a relative level of humidity of between 70% and 100%, such that the bed of particles is fluidized by said resulting flow of gas,
• and wherein the housing comprises at least one emitter of electromagnetic waves oriented at said compression member and emitting waves that penetrate said bed of particles at a location, including said particles contacting said compression member, and wherein said emitter is configured to emit said electromagnetic waves upon closing of a door of said machine after said support is loaded in said machine, said machine further having a timer configured to shut off said emitter at a predetermined amount of time of about 10 seconds.
