More Information
Summary:Adjustable system and methods are provided that are used in curing a foam item. Induction heating assemblies, cooling mechanisms and a dynamic conveyance mechanism may be used in combination to heat and cool a mold containing the foam item as it is conveyed. The dynamic conveyance mechanism may have removable rollers that allow for chambers, such as the induction heating assemblies, to be placed into areas where removable rollers have been removed. As such, utilizing a dynamic conveyance mechanism chambers to be placed into, taken out of, and moved around the dynamic conveyance mechanism. The flexibility of a dynamic conveyance mechanism allows for a curing process to be automated, adjusted, and customized. Se proveen sistemas y métodos ajustables que se usan para curar un artículo de espuma. Pueden usarse ensambles de calentamiento por inducción, mecanismos de enfriamiento y un mecanismo de transporte dinámico, en combinación con el calentamiento y enfriamiento de un molde que contiene un artículo de espuma a medida que es transportado. El mecanismo de transporte dinámico puede tener rodillos desmontables que permiten que las cámaras, tales como los de los ensambles de calentamiento por inducción, sean colocadas en áreas en donde los rodillos desmontables han sido desmontados. De esta manera, la utilización de un mecanismo de transporte dinámico permite que las cámaras sean colocadas en, extraídas de, y movidas alrededor del mecanismo de transporte dinámico. La flexibilidad de un mecanismo de transporte dinámico produce que un proceso de curado sea automatizado, ajustado y personalizado.
