Patent ID: 6899833

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a molded article from a settable mixture utilizing a mold tool, said method comprising the steps of: a. intaking a plurality of components of the settable mixture into a corresponding plurality of discharge containers, each of the plurality of discharge containers being sized relative to each other such that discharging one discrete shot from each of the plurality of discharge containers provides a predetermined ratio of each of the plurality of components required to form the settable mixture; b. discontinuing intake of the plurality of components upon filling of each of the plurality of discharge containers with a discrete shot of a separate component of the plurality of components; c. emptying the discrete shots from each of the plurality of discharge containers through the mixing head into a mold tool, wherein a settable mixture is formed in the mixing head; d. sensing a pressure of said settable mixture; and e. varying a rate of continued emptying of the settable mixture responsive to said pressure sensed in step d.
