During manufacture, carpet is passed through a bath of hot molten rubber at 200°C to provide a rubber backing which improves wear and comfort. Ambient air cooled the rubber before being wound onto a roll for transport and storage. Some adhesion occurred between layers on the roll particularly near the centre and resulted in a few feet of waste carpet on each roll.

   
 

Two air knives blowing onto the rubber back of the carpet cooled it down below 100°C and prevented the layers from sticking together.
