Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a multi-layer flat product (26) in a vertical position from an endless basic material strand (5) positioned on edge, the method comprising the steps of:preparing a basic material strand (5) by initially horizontally transporting several layers and exposing the layers to shaking energy to form multi-layer laminates, deflecting the multi-layer laminates in a vertical direction, and, while transporting the multi-layer laminates in the vertical position, exposing the muiti-layer laminates to shaking energy to form a compacted plate or attach the multi-layer laminates to a core of solid material to form a core with attached laminates, wherein the compacted plate or the core with attached laminates form the basic material strand (5); filling the basic material strand (5) while being transported in the vertical direction into individual support molds (7); cutting the basic material strand (5) to length into basic material strand sections while in a vertical position; subjecting the cut-to-length basic material strand sections to final shaping and hardening in the support molds (7) to a hardened multi-layer flat product.
