A dispenser for discharging a mixture of gas and paste material includes: a nozzle part (2) provided in a tip end part of a body (11) and having a tip end opening; a flow path (4) for the mixture extending from an introduction part (5) for the mixture to the tip end opening through a hollow space of the nozzle part; a needle part (3) movable in the flow path of the nozzle part to open and close the flow path; a driving part (7, 8, and 9) that drives the needle part; and a stopper part (10, 14, and 16) that limits an operation range of the needle part. The nozzle part has a tapered section in which an inside diameter of the flow path of the nozzle part relative to an operation range of a tip end of the needle part decreases toward the tip end opening.

The invention relates to a method for producing foamed molded bodies comprising the steps of A) providing a mold, and B) introducing a foam-forming reaction mixture into the mold under variable pressure of injection,
wherein the method is characterized in that
the foam-forming reaction mixture has a fiber time of ≧20 s to ≦60 s.

A method for manufacturing a component for a wind turbine is provided. In a first step, a fiber material is laid onto a mold surface. In a further step, an uncured foam material is provided on top of the fiber material. Thereafter, the uncured foam material is cured to form a core member. Then, a resin impregnating the fiber material is cured to form the component. Thus, a core member for a component of a wind turbine can be provided easily.

Disclosed are methods, systems and computer program products for producing and applying a spray foam producing mixture onto a surface, and imaging a spray cone, or the applied surface, using an infrared or an optical imaging device to capture an image, and then determining, based on the captured image, if a defect that requires correction exists in the spray cone or in the applied surface; and optionally, in response to determining that a defect requiring correction exists, modifying a process parameter in producing or applying spray foam.
