Patent ID: 7789645

Claim:
An apparatus for producing a multi-layered structural cementitious panel, comprising: a conveyor-type frame supporting a moving web; a first loose fiber distribution station in operational relationship to said frame and configured for depositing loose fibers upon said moving web; a first slurry feed station in operational relationship to said frame and configured for depositing a thin layer of settable slurry upon said moving web so that said fibers are covered; a second loose fiber distribution station in operational relationship to said frame and configured for depositing loose fibers upon said slurry; an embedment device in operational relationship to said frame and configured for generating a kneading action in said slurry to embed said fibers into said slurry; and additional sequences of said slurry feed station, said second loose fiber distribution station and said embedment device provided in operational relationship to said frame in sequence to provide a structural cementitious panel having multiple layers, each of which with embedded fibers.
