METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IN-LINE DIE CUTTING OF VACUUM FORMED MOLDED PULP CONTAINERS

Methods and apparatus for manufacturing a molded fiber part include: immersing a wire mesh mold in a slurry bath comprising water and fiber particles; drawing a vacuum across the wire mesh mold to cause fiber particles to accumulate at the wire mesh mold surface yielding a molded fiber part; transferring the molded part from the slurry bath to a die press assembly; and drying and die cutting the molded part in the die press assembly.

一种模塑纤维部件的制造方法及装置，包括以下步骤：将丝网模具（wire mesh mold）浸入由水与纤维颗粒组成的浆料槽（slurry bath）中；对丝网模具进行真空抽吸，使纤维颗粒积聚于丝网模具表面，从而得到模塑纤维部件；将该模塑部件从浆料槽转移至模压组件（die press assembly）；并在模压组件中对模塑部件进行干燥与模切（die cutting）处理。一种模塑纤维部件的制造方法及装置，包括以下步骤：将丝网模具浸入由水与纤维颗粒组成的浆料槽中；对丝网模具进行真空抽吸，使纤维颗粒积聚于丝网模具表面，从而得到模塑纤维部件；将该模塑部件从浆料槽转移至模压组件；并在模压组件中对模塑部件进行干燥与模切处理。
