ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a carpet pad and the apparatus for the same are shown. A frame is provided to which is mounted a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt feeds a first liner sheet along a conveyor path from a forward end to a rearward end. A foam spray assembly is connected to an uncured polymeric foam supply having a spray nozzle mounted adjacent to the forward end of the conveyor path. The spray nozzle dispenses uncured, resilient polymeric foam as a generally uniform layer on a surface of the first liner sheet. A second conveyor belt mounted to the frame is located along the conveyor path and spaced apart from the second conveyor belt a selected distance. The second conveyor belt is parallel to the first conveyor belt and feeds the second liner sheet along the conveyor path so that the second liner sheet is positioned over the layer of foam. As the layer of foam passes along the conveyor path, the foam material is sandwiched between the first and second liner sheets and is compressed between the conveyor belts to a selected thickness. This laminated foam is then heated. A heated air supply supplies air which is introduced inside a heat cover for curing of polymeric foam as it is compressed between the conveyor belts with the first and second liner sheets adhering to the foam material as it is cured.
