Patent ID: 6846552

Claim:
A plant ( 10 ) for the production of sheets or panels ( 38 ) of agglomerate material with improved flexibility and limited thickness comprising: a mixer crusher ( 12 ) designated to accept raw stone material and other agglomerate components in order to reduce them to a fine degree of granulometry, subsequently discharging hem onto a first conveyor belt ( 13 ); a hopper ( 15 ) designated to accept the crushed and rolled material ( 24 ) and to transfer it to a distributor or spreader ( 16 ) positioned below the hopper, said spreader ( 16 ) comprising a substantially cylindrical container ( 30 ) with a loading opening ( 31 ), adjacent, in use, to said hopper ( 15 ) and comprising a discharge slot ( 32 ) on the opposite side to said opening ( 31 ), and a mixing device of the agglomerate material ( 24 ) inside said container ( 30 ); a platform ( 17 ), positioned below said spreader ( 16 ), fitted with special moulds ( 18 ) with no bottom, designed to receive said material ( 24 ) discharged from said spreader ( 16 ); a second conveyor belt ( 19 ), immediately below said platform ( 17 ), on which the material ( 24 ) is received from said moulds ( 18 ) and conveyed towards as compression and compacting device ( 20 ); a furnace ( 21 ), designed to harden said previously compressed and compacted material is conveyed; machine tools for finishing operations such as smoothing, polishing, cutting to size, chamferring, calibrating and reaming characterized in that it also comprises a series of presser cylinders ( 14 ) designed to level and roll said crushed material 924 ), and in that said mixing device comprises a pair of blades ( 35 ) fixed to a shaft ( 34 ) rotating around an axis not corresponding to that of said container ( 30 ) and in particular offset towards said slot ( 32 ), so that during their rotation the blades skim said slot.
