Abstract
A method and apparatus for making flat topped foamed buns (e.g. polyurethane) in a continuous foaming process. The method comprises the guiding of a continuous thin film tubular member through gathering devices adjacent the cream line at each side of a conveyor, and subsequently guiding the tubular members upward along guides at an angle and rate determined in accordance with the rate of longitudinal travel and the rate of rise of the foaming reactants so as to encourage the sides of the bun into the same height of rise as the center region of the bun. Continuous slitting of the tubular members at the appropriate elevation allows the material thereof to progress longitudinally with the cured bun.
