Provided herein are a method and a system for producing slabs, tiles or sheets of artificial stone, with a wide vein effect, comprising inorganic particles of different sizes and hardened binders, and which simulate the appearance of natural stone.

This document describes systems and processes for forming synthetic molded slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, or the like).

This document describes systems and processes for forming improved synthetic molded slabs suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, or the like).

A method for manufacturing an engineered stone, the method including: providing a mixture comprising at least a stone or stone like material and a binder; compacting the mixture; curing the binder; and further comprising printing a printed pattern on at least a top surface of the engineered stone.

The present invention relates to an artificial marble including one or more stripe regions and a base region on a first surface of the artificial marble, in which the stripe regions extend into the artificial marble, in which the artificial marble includes a section where a surface of the section corresponding to the first surface of the artificial marble is the stripe region and an inside of the artificial marble in a vertical direction under the stripe region is the base region, and in which at least a part of the base region of the section is visible to a naked eye from the surface of the stripe region.

A method for manufacturing an engineered stone, the method including: providing a mixture comprising at least a stone or stone like material and a binder; compacting the mixture; curing the binder; and further comprising printing a printed pattern on at least a top surface of the engineered stone.

The present invention relates to an artificial marble including a binder resin, inorganic particles and quartz powder, in which the inorganic particles are particles including a barium element.

A method for producing engineered stone slabs includes depositing a plurality of fragments of composite material into a pile on a surface, which is supported by a supporting structure, and depositing colorant in a predefined region onto at least part of side walls of at least some of the plurality of fragments of the composite material. The method then includes using a press roller to press, flatten and stretch the plurality of fragments of the composite material into a slab, after depositing the colorant.

A method for producing engineered stone slabs including steps of depositing a composite material onto a supporting structure; disrupting the composite material using a plurality of stirring devices attached to a shifting structure; depositing colorant in a predefined region in the composite material using a spray device to form a colored disrupted composite material; and using a first device to press, flatten and stretch the composite material into a slab after disrupting and depositing colorant. The step of disrupting may occur before, after, or during the step of depositing colorant. The step of disrupting the composite material or the step of depositing colorant may include causing the shifting structure to move along a width of the supporting structure. Prior to depositing the composite material onto the supporting structure, and after compressing the composite material, the composite material may be fragmented into a plurality of fragments of composite material.

System for manufacturing ceramic articles, in particular ceramic slabs or tiles, comprising: a compaction device; a conveyor assembly to transport powder material along a given path from an input station to an output station; a digital feeding assembly to feed powder material to the conveyor assembly at the input station so as to generate a layer of powder material, with feeding devices each comprising a plurality of distribution elements along its transverse output mouth, as well as corresponding actuators; a detection unit to detect the height or thickness of the powder material; and a height correction unit, located upstream of the detection unit and of the compaction device, operable to modify the height or thickness of the layer of powder material crosswise to said moving direction, depending on the data detected by said detection unit, so as to make it more uniform.
