Device and a Process for Producing Insulated Siding Panels
An apparatus for producing insulated panels, comprising in sequence two congruous sheet fines, a former, a foaming structure, and an extrude.
1 . An apparatus for producing insulated panels, comprising:
two congruous sheet lines;
a former;
a foaming structure; and
an extruder.
2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a curing unit positioned between the foaming structure and the extruder.
3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a suction device is positioned between a cooling unit and a sizing unit.
4 . A process for producing a foam in place siding panel, comprising: forming two siding profiles;
arranging the two siding panels at a distance from each other; foaming an insulating material between the two siding panels, thereby forming a FIP block;
cutting the FIP block at a position parallel to the siding profiles.
5 . The process for producing the foam in place siding panel of claim 4 , wherein the forming, foaming and cutting is a continuous process.
6 . A siding panel, comprising:
a panel siding member; and
an insulating material having a first surface and a second surface; wherein
the first surface is integrally attached to the panel siding member to form a continuously joined interface.
7 . The integral panel of claim 6 , wherein the insulating material is a polyurethane.
8 . The integral panel of claim 6 , wherein the insulating material and panel siding member are less than 0.040 mils.
