Panel member production line

A production line for manufacturing a multilayer foam panel member comprising:

• (a) a storage system for components of a foam-forming fluid reactive mixture;
• (b) a dosing system for flowing the components of the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture to a chamber for mixing the components of the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture to form the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture;
• (c) a flexible fluid dispensing device for receiving the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture;
• the flexible fluid dispensing device including:
• i) a flexible multilayer film having:
• at least one fluid inlet aperture;
• a plurality of fluid outlet apertures;
• and
• a series or pattern of flexible fluid flow path ducts defined within the flexible multilayer film that connect the least one fluid inlet aperture with the plurality of fluid outlet apertures;
• ii) a rigid frame disposed at least partially about a perimeter of the flexible multilayer film and in contact with side edges of the flexible multilayer film;
• and
• iii) a hermetic connector positioned on the rigid frame for connecting the at least one fluid inlet aperture to an outlet of the chamber;
• wherein:
• the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture enters the at least one fluid inlet aperture, flows through the flexible fluid dispensing device, and exits the plurality of fluid outlet apertures to dispense the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture onto a surface of a first bottom sheet substrate;
• the first bottom sheet substrate moves and receives the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture dispensed from the flexible fluid dispensing device;
• the foam-forming fluid reactive mixture to reacts and travels on the first bottom sheet substrate and a foam material forms between the first bottom sheet substrate and a second top sheet substrate to form a panel structure;
• and
• the foam material cures to form the multilayer foam panel member comprising the second top sheet substrate, the first bottom sheet substrate, and the foam material cured integrally therebetween.
