A plant for manufacturing a continuous latex foam layer () to form mattresses () provided with cells (). The plant comprises a plurality of laying planes () provided with a plurality of separate tables () separately arranged side by side to form a surface for the foam deposit. Each table comprises protuberances () and the arrangement of the protuberances on a table can differ from that of the juxtaposed tables in order to create supporting areas for the different body parts of the user. Preferably the tables () with their protuberances () are slidably fitted onto the laying planes () and can be easily and quickly replaced with separately provided tables having protuberances () differently arranged in order to meet the support capacity values required by different users.

Plant for continuously manufacturing a foam layer to form rest articles

Plant for manufacturing latex foam layer of unlimited length and having lower and upper recesses. A plurality of laying planes provided with lower protuberances proceeds between an injection station and a layer removing station. Foam provided with lower recesses is directed towards a vulcanizer between the injecting station and the removing station. A plurality of upper plates, each provided with protuberances, is lowered, one by one, on the foam layer to impress upper recesses before the foam layer enters the vulcanizer. The plates, placed on the foam layer, have their ends shaped to avoid any penetration of steam condensation drops. Upper plates release their weight to fixed supports of the planes to which they are bound until they leave the vulcanizer. The return of the plates from the extraction station towards the new cycle of moulding is independent of the operating system of the planes.

Process and plant for continuous manufacture of a foam layer

Plant for manufacturing a latex foam layer of unlimited length and having lower and upper recesses. A plurality of laying planes provided with lower protuberances proceeds between an injection station and a layer removing station. Foam provided with lower recesses is directed towards a vulcanizer staying between the injecting station and the removing station. A plurality of upper plates, each of them provided with protuberances, is lowered, one by one, on the foam layer to impress upper recesses before the foam layer enters the vulcanizer. The plates, placed on the foam layer, have their ends shaped in such a way to avoid completely any penetration of steam condensation drops. Upper plates release their weight to fixed supports of the planes to which they are bound until they leave the vulcanizer. The coming back of the plates from the extraction station towards the new cycle of moulding is independent of the operating system of the planes.
