Abrégé

A device to form a honeycomb has an upper continuous belt and a lower continuous belt disposed in parallel and carrying opposing cores. The belts act on liquid wax which is injected into an inlet of the device, with both belts moving in opposition. The inlet has in succession: a scraping zone disposed straight with respect to the upper belt; a zone for opening the cores, which has a certain curvature designed to receive a first injection of wax; and a third straight zone for sealing and expelling any excess wax. At an exit of the device, the longest length of the upper belt has multiple groups of magnetic and non-magnetic rollers for a local curving of the belt to progressively release the honeycomb.

Abrégé

The device comprises two continuous belts disposed in parallel and carrying opposing cores, the belts acting on wax in a liquid state which is inserted into the entry of the device, with both moving belts in opposition. The entry comprises, successively: a scraping zone disposed straight with respect to the band; a zone for opening the cores, which has a certain curvature designed to receive the first injection of wax; and a third straight zone for sealing and expelling the excess wax, and the exit, the longest length of the upper belt, comprises multiple groups of magnetic and non-magnetic rollers for the local curving of the belt to progressively release the honeycomb.

Abrégé

The method comprises differentiated separation of the strips holding the silicone cores with respect to the honeycomb produced, by simply curving one of the strips corresponding to one of the faces of the honeycomb and by progressive action of pulsed magnetic fields in the other of the strips holding the silicone cores, progressively separating the honeycomb and preventing breakages in the walls of the same. In a device equipped with an alignment of electromagnets which act on the strip bearing the elastic cores to be separated and which exert an action of pulsed magnetic fields on the same, progressively separating the strip from the honeycomb.
