A distributor device (1) for distributing a mix (L) in one or more forming supports (S) for manufacturing articles made of composite stone material. The device (1) comprises mix supply means (10) designed to transport the mix (L) along a longitudinal feeding direction (X) towards the forming supports (S). The distribution device (1) further comprises mix lamination means (16) located between the supply means (10) and the supports (S). The invention also relates to a method and a plant for manufacturing articles made of composite stone material which use the aforementioned distributor device (1).

Process for the production of a hydrophobic thermal-insulation moulding, where a hydrophilic thermal-insulation moulding is brought into contact with a hydrophobizing agent in vapour form with formation of a thermal-insulation moulding coated with hydrophobizing agent, and this is then subjected to a press process and during the press process and/or after the press process is reacted with the hydrophobizing agent with formation of the hydrophobic thermal-insulation moulding, where a) the density of the hydrophobic thermal-insulation moulding after the press process and after the reaction with the hydrophobizing agent is from 100 to 250 kg/m.sup.3, and b) the density of the hydrophilic thermal-insulation moulding on contact with the hydrophobizing agent is from 50% to less than 100% of the density of the hydrophobic thermal-insulation moulding.

A system and method for manufacturing building materials made of volcanic material includes gathering of molten volcanic material that is collected by catching the molten volcanic material after the molten volcanic material flows off an edge of land, cooling the volcanic material by immersing the mold containing the volcanic material into a body of ocean water, and shaping the volcanic material into shapes that may be used in construction.
