Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel device to manufacture polyurethane foam boards used in structurally insulated panel known as insulated building material press. The press enables the application of pressure across a large area while foaming and curing polyurethane under pressure, curing glue or otherwise bonding materials into a finished product or to form multiple panels in a single press at the same time. The building material press can be used to manufacture multiple structurally insulated panels simultaneously. The press is mobile and can be transported by means of a vehicle to a remote location.
Claims21
A building material press to make structural insulated panels comprising,
- a) opposing press platens to form said structural insulated panel,
- b) one or more tensioning devices around the press to link the press components together while providing the necessary pressure on the platen surface, and,
- c) one or more sets of tension transfer structures attached to the outside face of each platen in the shape of a triangle, dome, catenary arch, parabolic arch, cylinder, cube, a liquid or gas filled container such as a metallic, polymer, fabric bag or balloon that can firmly apply a perpendicular force to the surface of the opposing platens.
