APPARATUS AND METHOD USING LARGER DRAFT ANGLE TO PINCH TRIM EDGE OF MOLDED WOOD STRAND PRODUCTS

摘要

Method of production of molded wood flake or strand three-dimensionally curved products (20') using draft angles of ten degrees (10 DEG ) or larger with little or no blistering or wood flake springback from over densification. A loosely felted mat of wood flakes is placed between top mold (12) and bottom mod (13) which slidably engage one another at pinch points (12a, 13a) to pinch and sometimes remove excess flashing/pinch trim (21).
