METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A MOLDED PART AND MOLDED PART AS HEAT INSULATING AND/OR SOUND ABSORBING ELEMENT

The invention relates to a method and to a device for producing a molded part that is preferably configured as a heat insulating and/or sound absorbing element， particularly a press-molded part made of mineral fibers， for example stone and/or glass fibers. The invention further relates to a molded part as a heat insulating and/or sound absorbing element， particularly as a lining part in vehicle construction， produced using a generic method， made of mineral fibers， particularly stone and/or glass fibers. In order to further develop a method， a device， and a molded part having high flexibility with respect to the molded parts to be produced and/or configure the molded part in a simple and diverse variety， according to the invention the mineral fibers are accumulated as flakes and/or granules， with or without bindings agents， having a predetermined bulk density and/or predetermined basis weight and/or predetermined binding agent percentages， filled in a mold， and subsequently pressed to form a molded part， particularly a press-molded part.
