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).

A mould for the production of slabs in granular material and/or grits and/or sands with curing resins comprising a flat bottom, a perimeter framework operatively or rigidly connected to the flat bottom wherein the perimeter framework comprises a plurality of side walls, the flat bottom and the perimeter framework delimiting a compartment for forming the slab; a plant for the production and a method of forming slabs in granular material and/or grits and/or sands with curing resins are also provided.

In the method for manufacturing conglomerate stone slabs using the Bretonstone technology, in the variant where the starting mixture is enclosed between two paper sheets, the improvement consists in replacing each paper sheet with a containment element consisting of a paper sheet, one surface of which has, applied thereon, a film of plastic material which is impermeable to organic vapours, impermeable to the liquids and in particular to the liquid resin constituting the binder of said mixture, resistant to the catalysis temperatures of the said resin and resistant to hot solvents and chemical vapours. Preferably, said plastic material is water-soluble, in particular polyvinyl alcohol.

A system (1) for constructing a component, contains a trough (13) with an at least partly transparent base (23), an at least partly stretchable semipermeable layer (7), for receiving a photosensitive substance (5), and a phase (9) arranged below the semipermeable layer (7) and forms an intermediate layer (11) within the photosensitive substance (5). A light source (25) is below the trough base (23) for curing the photoreactive substance (5) in some regions. A construction platform (31) is above the semipermeable layer (7) and can be lifted and lowered for receiving the component (3), as well as with a driver (15) which extends from the semipermeable layer (7) in the direction of the construction platform (31) and can be moved relative to the trough base (23) to convey the photoreactive substance (5) into a gap (20) between the construction platform (31) and the semipermeable layer (7).

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).

In a method for manufacturing articles in the form of a slab or block, the articles are obtained from an initial mix comprising aggregates and a binder. Synthetic aggregates and fillers have a hardness greater than or equal to 5 Mohs, and contain silicon dioxide substantially only in amorphous form, the silicon dioxide in crystalline form being present in quantities of less than 1% by weight.

The equipment for the production of slabs in mineral grits bound with resins, comprises: a support frame, at least one lower plate, locked together with the frame, comprising at least one positioning zone for at least one mold having at least one forming cavity, open at the top, to contain a mix comprising the materials necessary to obtain the slabs, at least one pressing assembly comprising an upper plate movable, with respect to the frame, from an upper position of loading/unloading the mold in/from the positioning zone, to a lower position of pressing the mix inside said forming cavity, vibrating means associated at least with the lower plate, and an airtight chamber, communicating with suction means, adapted to reduce the pressure to a value lower than the atmospheric pressure, containing the mold, where the chamber is interposed between the lower plate and an upper closing element opposite the lower plate.

Plant (2) for the production of slabs made of composite stone material from a mix (M) containing granules of stone or ceramic or glass material and a binder, comprising at least one temporary support or mould (S), a distributor for the mix (M) designed to distribute a layer of mix (M) on the temporary support or mould (S), a station (4) for performing compaction by means of vacuum vibro-compression of the mix (M) arranged on the temporary support or mould (S) and a station for hardening the mix (M) so as to form the finished slabs. The plant (2) comprises a device (1) positioned downstream of the distributor and upstream of the compaction station (4) and comprising means (16) which act on the top surface of the mix (M) for pre-compaction and levelling of the mix (M) arranged on the temporary support or mould (S). The invention also relates to a method for the production of slabs of composite stone material from a mix (M).
