摘要:
An apparatus for the continuous testing of planar panels of particulate or layered material comprises a support structure (6) having an array of rollers (2,3,4,5,7,8) configured to facilitate continuous feeding and sandwiching of a panel (12) therebetween, and means (11) for applying a load to the panel to induce a deflection in the panel, and a load cell (13) which in conjunction with the roller (11) measures the deflection load, enabling the stiffness and related parameters of the panel to be calculated.
摘要:
An apparatus (1) for the use in the continuous production of particulate sheets (2) formed by a matrix of particulate material which forms a furnish or mat, the apparatus of the type comprising a superstructure having a supporting platform or pedestal, a lower girder (21) supported by said platform or pedestal and an overlying aligned upper girder (22) such that at least one surface of each girder opposes at least one surface of the other girder; means linking the two girders and enabling the girders to be separated or drawn together to release or sandwich particulate material conveyed therebetween, thereby forming a press, means on each of the girders to enable engagement therewith of rollers about which travel at least one continuous belt which also travel/s along said surfaces, means on said apparatus for measuring the sandwiching pressure exerted on said particulate sheets during travel of sheets through the apparatus; characterised in that the apparatus also comprises a source of gas or gases and/or steam for controlled injection, heating and curing of the particulate furnish over a preselected area of the furnish or mat; and vacuum forming means to actively remove said steam and/or gas/es after heating and curing.
