Abstract
The invention contemplates a machine and method whereby rotation of an annular mold is used to develop a homogenous longitudinal and radial distribution of foaming plastic. The foaming plastic is introduced into the mold cavity during mold rotation and, particularly where mold-cavity length substantially exceeds mold-cavity diameter, a longitudinal traverse is imparted to the introduction of foaming material during rotation of the mold. The cavity is closed to permit foamed filling of the mold, and a polymerizing cure is effected prior to mold opening and product removal. The particular machine herein described is notable (a) for its ready mechanical release from both inner and outer molding contact with the product, (b) for its inherent adaptability to production of a selected one of a plurality of inner and outer profiles and sizes in the product, and (c) for its safe accommodation of fast-foaming and curing plastics, even for relatively large product diameter or girth.
