Abstract
A plastic foamed sheet of excellent quality is produced by using an apparatus comprising a preheating chamber including a conveyor means for continuously conveying a thermoplastic resin sheet containing a heat-decomposable blowing agent in the horizontally supported state and a heating means for heating the sheet to a temperature lower than the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent, and a foaming chamber connected to the preheating chamber and including a heating means for heat-foaming the sheet as it is continuously conveyed while being perpendicularly suspended from the terminal end portion of the conveyor means.
