French term

conformateur

French to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering Polyurethane foam manufacture for sandwich panels
Context: agreement between PU foam manufacturer and sandwich panel manufacturer.

I know there are a couple of suggestions for conformateur in the glossary but am not sure they refer to the same thing. Can anyone suggest how I can translate "conformateur" in this context (paragraph below)? Many thanks

"Les procédés de moussage des panneaux sandwiches sont connus du fournisseur qui est par ailleurs autorisé à effectuer des audits de nos installations (zone de stockage et de moussage). XXX s’engage à informer le fournisseur de toutes modifications des installations, à savoir du conformateur, des presses et de la partie humide."

forming machine

Similar to Adsion's answer, but I prefer to say "forming", because in this industry "moulding" can refer to processes other than just "shaping", which is basically what this device would do.

(Foam) mo(u)lding machine

According to the context, I would say it's referred to the molding machine, as a kind of equipement for the whole production process.
Hope it's helpful enough.
