An improved apparatus for curing fibrous insulation material includes an
oven, and a lower conveyor mounted to travel through the oven. The lower
conveyor includes a plurality of flights having a support surface for
supporting fibrous insulation material. An upper conveyor is mounted to
travel through the oven and has a plurality of flights opposite the
flights of the lower conveyor. Each flight of the upper conveyor includes
a support surface. The upper and lower conveyors are arranged to press the
fibrous insulation material between the respective support surfaces as the
conveyors carry the fibrous insulation material through the oven. A
plurality of molding members are configured to mold a shape into a surface
of the fibrous insulation material, and are releasably retained on the
flights by a plurality of retaining members. The retaining members are
automatically releasable when the flights are moving, such that the
releasing of the retaining members unlocks the molding members from the
flights.
