In the method for producing the moulded bonded foam article a binder is applied onto the foam particles, the obtained mixture is introduced in a mould (14) while generating a flow of gas through the mould cavity (10) to compress the mixture, the inlet opening (13) is closed, and the binder is allowed to set. In order to enable a better control of the density distribution in the mould cavity (10), the flow of gas is controlled to reach for a predetermined period of time a minimum flow rate, expressed in normal m<3> of gas per minute, of at least 500 times the inner volume V, expressed in m<3>, of the mould cavity, and/or a mould (14) with a larger inlet opening (13) is used, more particularly an open mould, the inlet opening of which has a surface area which is at least equal to 30% of the maximum cross-sectional surface area of the mould cavity measured in a plane parallel to the inlet opening, and/or the mixture is introduced in a stream having a surface area smaller than the surface area of the inlet opening. <IMAGE> |
