Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel foam peeling process and apparatus. The process and apparatus allow for the substantially continuous production of a continuous sheet of foam material in roll form from a cylindrical foam body. By following the present invention, several basic operations may be performed on a foam body including inserting a supporting rod in the foam body, bringing a cutting element into contact with the foam body while it is rotating on the supporting rod, winding the resultant continuous foam sheet and returning the supporting rod back to the inserting station. The invention allows for the production of a foam roll in a substantially continuous manner with a minimum amount of labor. Furthermore, all the various operations can be controlled via suitable electrical control means, and it is preferable that all the various operations be programmed into a single control unit.
