ISO-C1 Entering the Tunnel

The high-grade chemicals are precisely metered and pumped through a mixing system and nozzle. The combined liquid chemicals are deposited onto a continuously running lower facer, with the upper and side facers being fed on line just after the chemical laydown. As the chemical reaction begins creating heat, the blowing agent begins to vaporize, initiating the foaming as the material enters the pressure conveyor. The foam continues to expand, pushing the facings against the surfaces of the pressure conveyor which controls the height and width of the bun. The polyiso bunstock exits the conveyor in a continuous fashion, and is cut to the appropriate length.

Note: A photo of the "wet end" of the tunnel is not shown due to the proprietary nature of the process.
