  • the insulation boards usually consist of mineral wool, preferably rock wool.
  • mineral wool composite elements are also possible in which the mineral wool panels are coated on one or both sides with other materials.
  • These insulation boards are arranged in stacks in the manufacturing plant, which are usually surrounded on the top and bottom as well as two side surfaces and on the stack edges by a plastic film, so that a transport unit is created in each case.
  • the transport packaging with the previously explained pallets, tensioning straps, edge protection elements etc. reaches the construction site, where they are then removed from the stack and the insulation boards are also removed individually from the stack.
  • the material and labor for these transport packaging is extremely large, especially since all these parts are no longer usable and represent a large amount of waste that must be disposed of.
  • Even the mostly wooden pallets are normally no longer transported back to the manufacturing plant, first because the transport units are often parked on the construction site for a long time until the insulation boards are processed and the effort required to transport the pallets back is not worth it, and on the other hand, the pallets are treated in rough construction site operations in such a way that at least some of the pallets are damaged. Checking and repairing the used pallets is also complex.
  • DE 42 18 354 A1 has made several constructive suggestions as to how one can avoid the usual wooden pallets and still transport the plate stacks by means of conventional conveyors, such as forklifts. It is common to all of these different constructive proposals to create a self-contained transport unit, support bodies being provided below a stack of insulating material plates, which are connected to the entire stack by a common film surrounding the stack and the support bodies.
  • These self-contained transport units consisting of a stack of plates and support bodies, have been used in principle for ecological reasons alone Proven in practice, but some disadvantages have emerged that do not guarantee universal use of these closed transport units.
  • the panels of the panel stack are to be used primarily for the thermal insulation of buildings, then they consist of relatively light and therefore also easily compressible mineral wool material.
  • the strip-like or bar-shaped support bodies which usually have a greater compressive strength, are pressed into one another when stacking several closed transport units during storage or during transport in the underlying and possibly also in the overlying soft plates, leaving behind undesired imprints or areas.
  • the manufacturing outlay for these transport units is relatively high, but above all is cumbersome.
  • the plate stacks represent a mass article, which are manufactured in a continuously working production line and have to be removed as quickly as possible at the end of the production line, without there being any traffic jams.
  • the respective underlaying and correct arrangement of the support bodies and also the holding of the support bodies during the common wrapping with a film is time-consuming, especially at the end of the production line.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a pallet which can be prefabricated elsewhere, that is to say independently of the production line of the insulation boards, so that the pallet is available in the finished state at the end of the production line without further manipulations for receiving a respective stack of panels stands.
  • a pressure-resistant and bending-resistant insulation board preferably made of rock wool, which is joined to form a unit by means of foil wrappings on two spaced-apart elongated support elements made of insulation material, preferably made of rock wool.
  • the pallet can be produced easily and in series at a suitable location in the manufacturing plant outside the actual production line by means of suitable devices.
  • the pallet can be reused as often as required within the company.
  • the plate stacks can be gently stacked on top of one another, for example, during storage without the interposition of respective pallets or support bodies.
  • the pallet can also be used to transport a stack of plates from the warehouse of the manufacturing plant to the construction site, whereby it is also possible to surround the pallet with the stack of plates in a separate operation with a common film. In any case, the pallet is protected against the weather, such as puddles or mud on the construction site, as far as the sensitive supporting elements are concerned.
  • there is another significant advantage that namely all parts of the pallet can be used on the construction site, for example as hard-wearing roof panels.
  • Fig. 1 shows the initial assignment of a pressure and bending resistant insulation board 1 to two spaced-apart longitudinal support elements 2 and 3 in the prefabrication.
  • the support elements 2 and 3 extend perpendicular to the image plane over the entire length of the insulation board 1.
  • Both the insulation board 1 and the support elements 2 and 3 are preferably made of rock wool.

Despite their relatively low binder content, they then have such a high compressive and flexural strength that they can withstand the stresses of a pallet in rough construction work and can also be used on the construction site, for example as roof tiles.

In this way, the formation of open joints and thus the Formation of kinks within the stack of plates prevented.
  • the plate stack 29 can be surrounded by a closed film or the pallet can also be included in such a common film wrapper. Due to the weight of the plates and the pressure generated by the tight wrapping or the resulting high frictional forces, the entire plate stack behaves like a homogeneous body without the individual plates being able to slide against one another. This contributes to the fact that the necessary resistance to bending and torsion is achieved for transport, for example by means of forklifts.

Abstract

The pressure-resistant and bending-resistant insulating panel (1) preferably made of rock wool is combined into a unit by stretch foil wrapping sheets (4) on two spaced apart elongated support elements (2,3) pref. made of rock wool. The material comprising the insulating panel and support elements possesses a pressure resistance of at least 50 kPa and a density of at least 130 kg/m<3>. The fibres in the insulating panel run parallel to the large surface. The wrapping width (6) is larger than the support element width (5) whose underside (8), two lateral longitudinal surfaces (9,10) and end surfaces, and the insulating panel, are partly covered by the sheeting.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Palette zum Transport von Plattenstapeln, insbesondere Stapeln aus Mineralwolledämmstoffplatten.The invention relates to a pallet for the transport of stacks of panels, in particular stacks of mineral wool insulation panels.

Unter Mineralwolledämmstoffplatten werden alle diejenigen Platten verstanden, die vor allem zur Wärme- und/oder Schalldämmung von Gebäuden Verwendung finden. Die Dämmstoffplatten bestehen meist aus Mineralwolle, vorzugsweise aus Steinwolle. Es kommen aber auch Mineralwolle-Verbundelemente in Betracht, bei denen die Mineralwolleplatten ein- oder beidseitig mit anderen Materialien beschichtet sind. Diese Dämmstoffplatten werden im Herstellerwerk zu Stapeln geordnet, die meist an der Oberseite und Unterseite sowie zwei Seitenflächen und an den Stapelrändern von einer Kunststoffolie umgeben sind, so daß jeweils eine Transporteinheit entsteht.Mineral wool insulation panels are understood to mean all those panels that are used primarily for thermal and / or acoustic insulation of buildings. The insulation boards usually consist of mineral wool, preferably rock wool. However, mineral wool composite elements are also possible in which the mineral wool panels are coated on one or both sides with other materials. These insulation boards are arranged in stacks in the manufacturing plant, which are usually surrounded on the top and bottom as well as two side surfaces and on the stack edges by a plastic film, so that a transport unit is created in each case.

Vor allem großformatige Mineralwolledämmstoffplatten werden in der Regel auf Flachpaletten nach DIN 15141, Teil 1, Ausgabe 1986 oder ähnlichen Paletten sowie in Gitterboxen usw. liegend transportiert. Mittels Spannbändern aus Stahl oder Polyestergewebe mit einer Breite von kleiner als 20 mm werden die Stapel gegen ein Verrutschen während des Transports auf den Paletten gesichert. Da die Lasteinleitung über die Spannbänder die Festigkeit des Dämmstoffs weit übersteigt, werden schützende Winkel aus Pappe oder Metall an den Kanten angebracht oder es wird eine Deckplatte oder eine weitere Palette aufgelegt. Die Flachpaletten können als Eindeck- oder Doppeldeckpaletten gestaltet sein. Bei üblichen Abmessungen von beispielsweise Dachdämmplatten mit 2 m Länge x 1,2 m Breite weisen die Paletten nur eine Einfahröffnung an den Längsseiten auf, ansonsten sind Vier-Wege-Paletten allgemein üblich. Der Transport zum Warenlager oder zum Versand erfolgt dann meist durch Gabelstapler, die mit ihren Gabein in die Paletten einfahren.Large-format mineral wool insulation boards in particular are generally transported lying flat on pallets according to DIN 15141, Part 1, 1986 edition or similar pallets, as well as in lattice boxes, etc. The stacks are secured against slipping during transport on the pallets by means of steel or polyester fabric straps with a width of less than 20 mm. Since the load transfer via the tensioning straps far exceeds the strength of the insulating material, protective angles made of cardboard or metal are attached to the edges or a cover plate or another pallet is placed. The flat pallets can be designed as single-deck or double-deck pallets. With the usual dimensions of, for example, roof insulation boards with a length of 2 m x 1.2 m, the pallets have only one entry opening on the long sides, otherwise four-way pallets are generally customary. Transport to Warehouses or shipping are then usually carried out by forklifts, which enter the pallets with their fork.

In aller Regel gelangen die Transportverpackungen mit den zuvor erläuterten Paletten, Spannbändern, Kantenschutzelementen usw. bis zur Baustelle, wo sie dann von dem Stapel gelöst und auch die Dämmstoffplatten einzeln von dem Stapel abgenommen werden. Der Material- und auch der Arbeitsaufwand für diese Tranportverpackungen ist außerordentlich groß, zumal alle diese Teile nicht mehr verwendbar sind und eine große Menge an Abfall darstellen, der entsorgt werden muß. Selbst die meist aus Holz bestehenden Paletten werden normalerweise nicht mehr zum Herstellerwerk zurücktransportiert, einmal weil die Transporteinheiten oftmals über längere Zeit auf der Baustelle abgestellt sind, bis es zur Verarbeitung der Dämmstoffplatten kommt und sich daher der Aufwand für das Zurücktransportieren der Paletten nicht lohnt, und zum anderen werden die Paletten im rauhen Baustellenbetrieb so behandelt, daß zumindest ein Teil der Paletten beschädigt wird. Das Kontrollieren und Wiederinstandsetzen der gebrauchten Paletten ist ebenfalls aufwendig.As a rule, the transport packaging with the previously explained pallets, tensioning straps, edge protection elements etc. reaches the construction site, where they are then removed from the stack and the insulation boards are also removed individually from the stack. The material and labor for these transport packaging is extremely large, especially since all these parts are no longer usable and represent a large amount of waste that must be disposed of. Even the mostly wooden pallets are normally no longer transported back to the manufacturing plant, first because the transport units are often parked on the construction site for a long time until the insulation boards are processed and the effort required to transport the pallets back is not worth it, and on the other hand, the pallets are treated in rough construction site operations in such a way that at least some of the pallets are damaged. Checking and repairing the used pallets is also complex.

Ausgehend von diesem in der Praxis seit Jahrzehnten üblichen Stand der Technik wurden in der DE 42 18 354 A1 mehrere konstruktive Vorschläge gemacht, auf welche Weise man die üblichen Holzpaletten vermeiden und trotzdem die Plattenstapel mittels üblicher Fördergeräte, wie Gabelstapler, transportieren kann. Allen diesen unterschiedlichen konstruktiven Vorschlägen ist gemeinsam, eine in sich geschlossene Transporteinheit zu schaffen, wobei unterhalb eines Stapels aus Dämmstoffplatten Auflagerkörper vorgesehen sind, die durch eine den Stapel und die Auflagerkörper umgebende gemeinsame Folie mit dem gesamten Stapel verbunden sind. Diese in sich geschlossenen aus Plattenstapel und Auflagerkörpern bestehenden Transporteinheiten haben sich allein schon aus ökologischen Gründen im Prinzip in der Praxis bewährt, jedoch haben sich auch einige Nachteile herausgestellt, die einen universellen Einsatz dieser geschlossenen Transporteinheiten nicht gewährleisten. Wenn zum Beispiel die Platten des Plattenstapels hauptsächlich zur Wärmedämmung von Gebäuden verwendet werden sollen, so bestehen diese aus verhältnismäßig leichtem und damit auch leicht zusammendrückbarem Mineralwollematerial. Die streifen- oder balkenförmigen Auflagerkörper, die meist eine größere Druckfestigkeit aufweisen, drücken sich beim Aufeinanderstapeln mehrerer geschlossener Transporteinheiten bei der Lagerhaltung oder beim Transport in die jeweils darunterliegenden und auch gegebenenfalls in die aufliegenden weichen Platten ein und hinterlassen hier ungewünschte Eindruckstellen bzw. -bereiche. Desweiteren hat sich herausgestellt, daß der Fertigungsaufwand für diese Transporteinheiten verhältnismäßig hoch, vor allem aber umständlich ist. Man muß bedenken, daß die Plattenstapel einen Massenartikel darstellen, die in einer kontinuierlich arbeitenden Fertigungsstraße hergestellt und am Ende der Fertigungsstraße möglichst schnell abtransportiert werden müssen, ohne daß es zu Betriebsstauungen kommt. Das jeweilige Unterlegen und richtige Anordnen der Auflagerkörper und auch das Festhalten der Auflagerkörper während des gemeinsamen Umwickelns mit einer Folie ist gerade am Ende der Fertigungsstraße mit Zeitaufwand verbunden.Based on this state of the art, which has been common in practice for decades, DE 42 18 354 A1 has made several constructive suggestions as to how one can avoid the usual wooden pallets and still transport the plate stacks by means of conventional conveyors, such as forklifts. It is common to all of these different constructive proposals to create a self-contained transport unit, support bodies being provided below a stack of insulating material plates, which are connected to the entire stack by a common film surrounding the stack and the support bodies. These self-contained transport units, consisting of a stack of plates and support bodies, have been used in principle for ecological reasons alone Proven in practice, but some disadvantages have emerged that do not guarantee universal use of these closed transport units. If, for example, the panels of the panel stack are to be used primarily for the thermal insulation of buildings, then they consist of relatively light and therefore also easily compressible mineral wool material. The strip-like or bar-shaped support bodies, which usually have a greater compressive strength, are pressed into one another when stacking several closed transport units during storage or during transport in the underlying and possibly also in the overlying soft plates, leaving behind undesired imprints or areas. Furthermore, it has been found that the manufacturing outlay for these transport units is relatively high, but above all is cumbersome. It must be borne in mind that the plate stacks represent a mass article, which are manufactured in a continuously working production line and have to be removed as quickly as possible at the end of the production line, without there being any traffic jams. The respective underlaying and correct arrangement of the support bodies and also the holding of the support bodies during the common wrapping with a film is time-consuming, especially at the end of the production line.

Hier setzt nun die Erfindung ein, die zum Prinzip des Palettentransportes zurückgekehrt ist, ohne allerdings die zahlreichen Nachteile der bisher bekannten Paletten in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.This is where the invention comes in, which has returned to the principle of pallet transport without, however, having to accept the numerous disadvantages of the previously known pallets.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Palette zu schaffen, die anderenorts, das heißt unabhängig von der Fertigungsstraße der Dämmstoffplatten, vorgefertigt werden kann, so daß die Palette in fertigem Zustand am Ende der Fertigungsstraße ohne weitere Manipulationen zur Aufnahme eines jeweiligen Plattenstapels zur Verfügung steht.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a pallet which can be prefabricated elsewhere, that is to say independently of the production line of the insulation boards, so that the pallet is available in the finished state at the end of the production line without further manipulations for receiving a respective stack of panels stands.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine druck- und biegefeste Dämmstoffplatte, vorzugsweise aus Steinwolle, welche auf zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordneten länglichen Tragelementen, aus Dämmstoff, vorzugsweise aus Steinwolle, mittels Folienumhüllungen zu einer Einheit verbunden ist.The object is achieved according to the invention by a pressure-resistant and bending-resistant insulation board, preferably made of rock wool, which is joined to form a unit by means of foil wrappings on two spaced-apart elongated support elements made of insulation material, preferably made of rock wool.

Auf diese Weise ergeben sich mehrere wesentliche Vorteile. Die Palette kann an einem geeigneten Ort im Herstellerwerk außerhalb der eigentlichen Fertigungsstraße mittels geeigneter Vorrichtungen einfach und serienmäßig hergestellt werden. Die Palette kann innerbetrieblich beliebig oft wiederverwendet werden. Die Plattenstapel können zum Beispiel bei der Lagerhaltung ohne Zwischenschaltung jeweiliger Paletten oder Auflagerkörper schonend übereinandergestapelt werden. Die Palette kann aber auch zum Transport eines Plattenstapels vom Lager des Herstellerwerkes bis hin zur Baustelle verwendet werden, wobei es auch möglich ist, die Palette mit dem aufliegenden Plattenstapel in einem separaten Arbeitsvorgang mit einer gemeinsamen Folie zu umgeben. Die Palette ist in jedem Fall, was die empfindlichen Tragelemente anbetrifft, gegen Witterungseinflüsse, wie Pfützen oder Schlamm auf der Baustelle, geschützt. Schließlich ergibt sich noch ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil, daß nämlich alle Teile der Palette auf der Baustelle verwendbar sind, beispielsweise als trittfeste Dachplatten.In this way, there are several major advantages. The pallet can be produced easily and in series at a suitable location in the manufacturing plant outside the actual production line by means of suitable devices. The pallet can be reused as often as required within the company. The plate stacks can be gently stacked on top of one another, for example, during storage without the interposition of respective pallets or support bodies. The pallet can also be used to transport a stack of plates from the warehouse of the manufacturing plant to the construction site, whereby it is also possible to surround the pallet with the stack of plates in a separate operation with a common film. In any case, the pallet is protected against the weather, such as puddles or mud on the construction site, as far as the sensitive supporting elements are concerned. Finally, there is another significant advantage that namely all parts of the pallet can be used on the construction site, for example as hard-wearing roof panels.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungn der erfindungsgemäßen Palette ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the pallet according to the invention result from the subclaims.

In the drawing, exemplary embodiments of the pallet according to the invention are shown in the diagram, namely show
  • 1 is an end view of a pallet with an insulation board and two support elements in a prefabricated assignment to each other,
  • 2 shows a pallet according to FIG. 1 after application of the film wrappings in the state of use,

Fig. 1 zeigt die bei der Vorfertigung anfängliche Zuordnung einer druck- und biegefesten Dämmstoffplatte 1 auf zwei mit Abstand voneinander angeordneten länglichen Tragelementen 2 und 3. Die Tragelemente 2 und 3 erstrecken sich senkrecht zur Bildebene über die gesamte Länge der Dämmstoffplatte 1. Sowohl die Dämmstoffplatte 1 als auch die Tragelemente 2 und 3 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Steinwolle. Zur gebrauchsmäßigen Fertigstellung der Palette bedarf es nur noch, in einem zweiten Arbeitsvorgang zwischen der Dämmstoffplatte 1 und den Tragelementen 2 und 3 Folienumhüllungen vorzusehen, um die Dämmstoffplatte 1 und die Tragelemente 2 und 3 zu einer Einheit miteinander zu verbinden.Fig. 1 shows the initial assignment of a pressure and bending resistant insulation board 1 to two spaced-apart longitudinal support elements 2 and 3 in the prefabrication. The support elements 2 and 3 extend perpendicular to the image plane over the entire length of the insulation board 1. Both the insulation board 1 and the support elements 2 and 3 are preferably made of rock wool. To complete the pallet in terms of use, all that is required is to provide foil wrappings between the insulation board 1 and the support elements 2 and 3 in a second operation in order to connect the insulation board 1 and the support elements 2 and 3 to form a unit.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 ist zu jedem Tragelement eine Folienumhüllung 4 vorgesehen, deren Breite 6 größer als die Breite 5 des betreffenden Tragelementes 2 und 3 gewählt ist. Dadurch ist jedes Tragelement auf der Unterfläche 8 und den beiden seitlichen Längsflächen 9 und 10 und auf den Stirnflächen von der Folienumhüllung bedeckt. Zugleich ist die Dämmstoffplatte 1 über einen Teil der Oberfläche 7 von der Folie bedeckt. Die Folienumhüllungen bestehen vorteilhafterweise aus ein- oder mehrlagigen Stretchfolien, sie sich selbsttätig beim Umwickeln den gegebenen Konturen anpassen. Aufgrund der vorgegebenen Breite 6 der Folienumhüllung ergeben sich vorteilhafterweise an den oberen Rändern der Längsflächen 9 und 10 Folienstreifen 11 und 12, die an der Unterseite der Dämmstoffplatte 1 anliegen und zu einer größeren Haftung und Verbindung der Teile beitragen.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, a foil covering 4 is provided for each support element, the width 6 of which is selected to be greater than the width 5 of the support element 2 and 3 in question. As a result, each support element on the lower surface 8 and the two lateral longitudinal surfaces 9 and 10 and on the end faces is covered by the film covering. At the same time, the insulation board 1 is covered by the film over part of the surface 7. The foil wrappers advantageously consist of single or multi-layer stretch foils, they adapt automatically to the given contours when wrapping. Due to the predetermined width 6 of the film wrapping, advantageously result at the upper edges of the longitudinal surfaces 9 and 10 Film strips 11 and 12, which abut the underside of the insulation board 1 and contribute to greater adhesion and connection of the parts.

Fig. 3 zeigt ein etwas anderes Ausführungsbeispiel für die Folienumhüllung 13, deren Breite 14 im wesentlichen der Breite 5 der Tragelemente entspricht, allenfalls ein kleines Übermaß hat. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel weisen die Tragelemente 2 und 3 eine Innenfolie 15 auf, welche die Unterseite 16, die Oberseite 17 und die beiden Seitenflächen 18 und 19 bedeckt. Die Folienumhüllung 13, die dann nachträglich aufgebracht wird, ist so bemessen und vorgesehen, daß sie die Stirnseiten und die Unterseite 21 des betreffenden Tragelementes 2 oder 3 und einen Teil der Stirnflächen und einen Teil der Oberfläche 20 der Dämmstoffplatte 1 bedeckt. Auch auf diese Weise sind die Tragelemente 2 und 3 allseitig gegen Witterungseinflüsse und dergleichen geschützt.Fig. 3 shows a slightly different embodiment for the film wrapping 13, the width 14 substantially corresponds to the width 5 of the support elements, at most has a small oversize. In this embodiment, the support elements 2 and 3 have an inner film 15 which covers the underside 16, the top 17 and the two side surfaces 18 and 19. The film covering 13, which is then applied subsequently, is dimensioned and provided such that it covers the end faces and the underside 21 of the supporting element 2 or 3 in question and part of the end faces and part of the surface 20 of the insulating board 1. In this way too, the support elements 2 and 3 are protected on all sides against weather influences and the like.

Fig. 4 zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Palette wiederum mit einer Dämmstoffplatte 1 und zwei Tragelementen 2 und 3. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeipiel ist die Folienumhüllung 22 so vorgesehen, daß sie die gesamte Oberseite 24 und die Längsseiten 25 und 26 der Dämmstoffplatte 1 und die Unterseiten der Tragelemente 2 und 3 bedeckt. Die Folienumhüllung 22 bildet auf der Unterseite zwischen den Tragelementen 2 und 3 eine waagerechte gespannte Folienfläche 23 und zwischen den Außenkanten der Tragelemente 2 und 3 einerseits und den unteren Außenkanten der Seitenflächen 25 und 26 der Dämmstoffplatte 1 schräg verlaufende Folienteile 27 und 28. Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel der Palette ist besonders geeignet, wenn es darum geht, beispielsweise bei der Lagerhaltung mehrere Plattenstapel übereinander zu stapeln und die Paletten zwischen den Plattenstapeln verbleiben sollen. Durch die großflächige gespannte Folienumhüllung 22, insbesondere mit den Folienteilen 23, 27 und 28, ergibt sich eine gleichmäßige Druckverteilung über eine entsprechend große Fläche.Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of another embodiment of a pallet according to the invention again with an insulation board 1 and two support elements 2 and 3. In this embodiment, the film wrapping 22 is provided so that it covers the entire top 24 and the long sides 25 and 26 of the insulation board 1 and covered the undersides of the support elements 2 and 3. The film covering 22 forms on the underside between the support elements 2 and 3 a horizontally stretched film surface 23 and between the outer edges of the support elements 2 and 3 on the one hand and the lower outer edges of the side surfaces 25 and 26 of the insulation board 1, oblique film parts 27 and 28. This embodiment of the Pallet is particularly suitable when it comes to stacking several plate stacks on top of one another, for example, and the pallets should remain between the plate stacks. The large-area stretched film covering 22, in particular with the film parts 23, 27 and 28, results an even pressure distribution over a correspondingly large area.

Die Dämmstoffplatte 1 und Tragelemente 2 und 3 sind vorteilhafterweise materialmäßig so gewählt, daß sie eine Druckfestigkeit von mindestens 50 kPa aufweisen. Ferner ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Dämmstoffplatte 1 und die Tragelemente 2 und 3 ein Raumgewicht von mindestens 130 kg/m3 aufweisen. Sie haben dann trotz verhältnismäßig geringem Bindemittelanteil eine so große Druck- und Biegefestigkeit, daß sie den Beanspruchungen einer Palette im rauhen Baubetrieb standhalten und außerdem auf der Baustelle beispielsweise als Dachplatten verwendbar sind. Um eine große Biegefestigkeit zu erhalten, ist der Faserverlauf innerhalb der Dämmstoffplatte 1 im wesentlichen parallel zu den großen Oberflächen gerichtet. Bei den Tragelementen 2 und 3 ist es dagegen vorteilhaft, wenn der Faserverlauf innerhalb der Tragelemente im wesentlichen vertikal gerichtet ist und wenn die Tragelemente 2, 3 eine Druckfestigkeit von mindestens 50 kPa aufweisen. Auf diese Weise erhalten die Tragelemente ausreichend große Festigkeitswerte.The insulation board 1 and support elements 2 and 3 are advantageously chosen in terms of material so that they have a compressive strength of at least 50 kPa. It is also advantageous if the insulation board 1 and the support elements 2 and 3 have a density of at least 130 kg / m 3 . Despite their relatively low binder content, they then have such a high compressive and flexural strength that they can withstand the stresses of a pallet in rough construction work and can also be used on the construction site, for example as roof tiles. In order to obtain a high flexural strength, the fiber course within the insulation board 1 is directed essentially parallel to the large surfaces. In the case of the support elements 2 and 3, on the other hand, it is advantageous if the fiber course within the support elements is directed essentially vertically and if the support elements 2, 3 have a compressive strength of at least 50 kPa. In this way, the support elements receive sufficiently high strength values.

Fig. 4 zeigt noch ein Ausführungsbeispiel, auf welche Weise ein an sich üblicher Plattenstapel 29 mit Platten 30, 31, 33 und 34 hälftiger Breite im Kreuzverband möglichst fugendicht aufstapelbar ist. Die Platten des Plattenstapels haben also die hälftige Breite bzw. Länge der Dämmstoffplatte 1, so daß die dazwischen gebildeten Fugen 32 und 35 von Plattenlage zu Plattenlage um 90o zueinander versetzt sind. Die Dämmstoffplatte 1 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel quadratisch ausgebildet, wobei die Seitenlängen im wesentlichen der Länge der einzelnen hälftigen Platten entspricht. Die Lagerung bzw. Zuordnung der Platten des Plattenstapels im Kreuzverband hat den Vorteil, daß die erforderlichen Widerstandsmomente gegen mechanische Beanspruchungen am einfachsten erreicht werden. Auf diese Weise wird auch das Entstehen von offenen Fugen und damit die Bildung von Knickstellen innerhalb des Plattenstapels verhindert. Wie bereits oben angedeutet wurde, kann der Plattenstapel 29 von einer geschlossenen Folie umgeben sein oder es kann auch die Palette zusätzlich in eine solche gemeinsame Folienumhüllung miteinbezogen werden. Durch das Eigengewicht der Platten und den durch das feste Umwickeln erzeugten Druck bzw. die daraus resultierenden hohen Reibungskräfte verhält sich der gesamte Plattenstapel wie ein homogener Körper, ohne daß die einzelnen Platten gegeneinander gleiten können. Dies trägt mit dazu bei, daß für den Transport, zum Beispiel mittels Gabelstaplern, das notwendige Widerstandsmoment gegen Biegung und Torsion erreicht wird.4 shows another exemplary embodiment of the manner in which a conventional plate stack 29 with plates 30, 31, 33 and 34 of half the width can be stacked as tightly as possible in the cross structure. The panels of the panel stack thus have half the width or length of the insulation panel 1, so that the joints 32 and 35 formed therebetween are offset by 90 o from panel to panel. In this embodiment, the insulation board 1 is square, the side lengths essentially corresponding to the length of the individual half boards. The storage or assignment of the plates of the plate stack in the cross structure has the advantage that the required moments of resistance to mechanical stresses are most easily achieved. In this way, the formation of open joints and thus the Formation of kinks within the stack of plates prevented. As has already been indicated above, the plate stack 29 can be surrounded by a closed film or the pallet can also be included in such a common film wrapper. Due to the weight of the plates and the pressure generated by the tight wrapping or the resulting high frictional forces, the entire plate stack behaves like a homogeneous body without the individual plates being able to slide against one another. This contributes to the fact that the necessary resistance to bending and torsion is achieved for transport, for example by means of forklifts.
