A system for manufacturing foamed plastics laminated panels at a high volume
is
disclosed. Press modules include a pair of opposed spaced open frame members with
longitudinal raised sections attached to perpendicular supports. The open frame
members move relative to one another, support respective panel outer skin layers;
and recieve therebetween edge sealing members of a predetermined thickness. A spacing
between the open frame members and a hinge is adjustable to move a first open frame
member relative to a second frame member. Clamps retain the open frame members
in a predetermined space relationship, and when actuated, forms a mould cavity
defined by the outer skin layers and edge sealing members supported by the open
frame members. An inlet introduces an a liquid foamable plastics material into
the moulded cavity, and a delivery system delivers liquid reactants in predetermined
proportions to a selected mould cavity formed in a selected press module.
