Abstract

The invention relates to a molded fiber product production line usingfluid trim operation. A molded fiber part former includes a first forming mold defining a first mold area and at least one fluid inlet. The molded fiber part former also includes a wall substantially surrounding the first mold area. The molded fiber part former includes a fluid channel disposed adjacent to and surrounding the wall, wherein the channel is fluidically connected to the at least one fluid inlet and defines a fluid channel outlet.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims priority and benefit to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 933,593, entitled "Production Line for Molded Fiber Products Utilizing Water Finishing Operations," filed November 11, 2019, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference . Background technique [0002] Pollution from single-use plastic containers and packaging materials is now a recognized problem worldwide. Proposing to replace single-use packaging with biodegradable and compostable materials is one way to reduce plastic pollution. However, for a new environmentally friendly alternative to be successful, it must be competitive in both cost and performance with the existing plastic technology it is replacing. [0003] As a brief background, molded pulp (also known as molded fiber) has been used to make containers, trays, and other packaging since the 1930s. Pulp can be made from recycled materials like old newsprint and corrugated boxes, ...
