Process for producing artificial fire logs

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6711480

Process for producing artificial fire logs from a mixture comprising wood material and a binder, particularly a resin binder. Each log is formed in an individual mold, and a batch of mix required for a single log is divided into two approximately equal portions for loading into the mold. The mixture within the mold is compressed, and the mold is then closed. The closed mold is heated, and curing of the resin takes place within the capped mold. The finished log is then removed from the mold, which is reusable.
