An apparatus for producing fibers from molten material includes a drive shaft rotatable about an axis, a slinger basket including a base, a side wall, and an interior void. The side wall extends axially upward from the base and includes a plurality of distribution holes. The interior void extends radially from the drive shaft to the side wall and extends axially from the base to an upper opening which extends radially outward from the drive shaft toward the upper flange. A spinner body is coupled with the slinger basket and includes a roof contacting and extending radially outward from the upper flange such that the upper opening is substantially unobstructed by the spinner body. A spinner side wall extends axially downward from the roof and includes a fiberizing region including a plurality of fiberizing holes provided therein.

Rotary spinner apparatuses, methods and systems for producing fiber from molten material

A molding process includes the operation of placing insulation material comprising fibers and binder on the fibers in a mold cavity. The molding process further includes the step of transferring heat to the insulation material to cause the binder to cure.

Molding apparatus and process

A molding process () comprising the step of inserting an uncured blank () in a mold cavity () formed in a mold system, the uncured blank including fiber and uncured binder, transferring heat from the mold system to a cool pressurized gas () to establish a hot pressurized gas, injecting the hot pressurized gas into the mold cavity (), and transferring heat () from the hot pressurized gas to the uncured blank to cause the uncured binder to cure and establish a cured product ().

Molding process for insulation product

Rotary spinner apparatuses, systems and methods for producing fibers from molten materials are disclosed. Certain exemplary embodiments include rotary spinners including a hub, a slinger, an annular member, a retaining member, and a plurality of fasteners. In certain embodiments the hub, the retaining member, and the plurality of fasteners are structured to limit axial movement of the annular member relative to the hub member and to allow radial expansion and contraction of the annular member relative to the hub member. In certain embodiments the annular member is structured to contact the hub at a plurality of contact areas and is spaced apart from the hub at a plurality of gap areas. In certain embodiments the slinger is structured to contact the hub at a plurality of contact areas and is spaced apart from the hub at a plurality of gap areas.
