SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING PARAMETERS FOR FOAM PRODUCTION

A method for determining machine parameters of a foam production machine (100, 400) is provided. The foam production machine includes a mixing head (102) configured to mix precursor reagents for forming a reactive mixture, a plurality of inclined fall plates (104), where a first inclined fall plate is configured to receive the reactive mixture (136), and where each inclined fall plate has vertically adjustable ends (118, 120), and a conveyor (106) configured to receive the reactive mixture from a last inclined fall plate, the conveyor having an adjustable conveyor speed. The method includes executing software by a computer system (600), including accessing a database (604) for reading a rise profile for the reactive mixture of the precursor reagents and computing, based on the rise profile, vertical positions for the ends of each inclined fall plate and the conveyor speed resulting in a predefined predicted profile of the reactive mixture on the plurality of inclined fall plates.
