Abstract
A method for producing foam insulation board, the method comprising forming a foam product as part of a continuous process, and monitoring on-line the compressive strength of the foam product.
Claims6
A method for producing foam insulation board, the method comprising:
- forming a foam product as part of a continuous process, where said foam product includes at least one side edge;
- monitoring on-line the compressive strength of the foam product, along said at least one side edge;
- and
- adjusting said step of forming a foam product in view of data obtained from said step of monitoring,
- where said step of forming a foam product includes depositing, from multiple mix heads, a foam forming material onto a conveyor, and where said step of adjusting includes altering the position of the mix heads in view of the data obtained from said step of monitoring.
