Patent ID: 7040884

Claim:
A manufacturing system comprising: a plurality of press modules, each press module comprising: (a) a pair of opposed spaced open frame members having a plurality of spaced longitudinal raised sections attached to a plurality of perpendicular supports and configured to move relative to one another and support respective panel outer skin layers and receive therebetween edge sealing members of a predetermined thickness; (b) an adjustment mechanism configured to selectively adjust spacing between said open frame members, (c) a hinge configured to allow a first member to move relative to a second frame member, (d) one or more clamps configured to retain, in use, said open frame members in a predetermined spaced relationship such that when actuated from a mould cavity defined by said outer skin layers and edge sealing members supported by said open frame members, and (e) at least one inlet configured to permit introduction of a liquid foamable plastics material into said mould cavity; a plurality of respective reservoirs configured to hold liquid reactants; and a delivery system configured to deliver the liquid reactants in predetermined proportions to selected mould cavity formed in a selected press module.
