Abstract
Description
- This invention relates generally to a method for manufacturing ceramic tiles or slabs, and in particular to a method for pre-forming said slabs and the relative plant for its implementation.
- Ceramic tile forming methods are known comprising the following operative steps:
- depositing a continuous layer of powders on a flexible belt with which walls are associated to laterally retain the powders,
- advancing said belt through a pre-pressing station of continuous type, generally consisting of at least one roller (or a compactor belt) which effects a first pressing of the powders on the flexible belt to obtain a coherent article of compacted powders, and
- subjecting the article to a second pressing.
- According to this method the article can be decorated with a further powder layer before being fed to the second pressing.
- The aforesaid method and the relative plant for its implementation are fully described in
International Patent Application WO 98/23424 - Tests carried out using the method described in the aforesaid patent application have shown that on leaving the first pressing station, the strip of pre-compacted material presents cracks which extend into the bulk of the strip and are randomly disposed over the entire surface, being concentrated in proximity to the longitudinal edges of the article.
- This is due to the fact that on termination of compaction, the compressed powders slightly re-expand to form the said cracks, which are not made good by the second pressing and render the article unusable or at least unsuitable for subsequent division into blanks of smaller dimensions.
- The document
US 1,953,704 discloses an apparatus for manufactoring porous bodies from fibrous material, such as tiles or slabs.
The apparatus comprises a conveyor belt on which a continuos strip of material is formed, means for laterally retaining the material on said belt and continuous pressing means for subjecting the material to a pressing to obtain a coherent slab of compacted material.
The apparatus comprises also means for controlling the expansion of the material after pressing to occur under a given extent. - The document
US 5,135,693 discloses an apparatus for the continuous production of inorganically bonded materials, by providing a pressureless transition zone without the action of pressure on a continuous sheet of material arranged between a high-pressure compression unit and the calibrating unit, and where the calibrating unit is immediately preceded by a recompression unit. - The object of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the known art within the framework of a simple and rational solution.
The invention attains said object by providing a method for forming ceramic tiles according toclaim 1.
According to the invention, the linear expansion of the article following the first pressing must be controlled at least in the direction perpendicular to the upper face of the article, and preferably also in the directions parallel to said face. In these latter directions the linear expansion must be preferably contained within a range between 0.1 and 1.0% of the article width measured in the direction perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the belt. - According to the invention said first pressing station can either be a first pressing station suitable only for making said powder layer coherent, to be then subjected to a second and definitive pressing, or can constitute the only pressing and compaction station. In the first case the pressure for compacting the material in the first pressing station must preferably progressively reach a maximum value between 30 and 70 kg/cm2.
- In the second case the pressure to which the material is subjected must preferably reach a maximum value between 300 and 450 kg/cm2.
- In certain embodiments the method of the invention provides for the article to be reduced to blanks of smaller dimensions. Reduction of the article into blanks takes place after the first pressing even if the first pressing is the only pressing.
- The invention also includes a plant according to claim 10.
- Further characteristics of the invention are defined in the claims.
- To better understand the operation of the method of the invention and the constructional characteristics and merits of the relative means for its implementation, reference is made hereinafter to the accompanying drawings which show by way of example a particular preferred embodiment of the plant for implementing the aforedescribed method.
- Figure 1 is a schematic side section through the plant of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a view in the direction II of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is an enlarged view of a detail of the invention.
- Figures 4 and 5 are a cross-section through the lateral retention means with which the invention is provided, shown under different working conditions respectively.
- Said figures show the
plant 1, which comprises a motorized lower conveyor belt 2 on which a continuous strip of powders is deposited by usual devices, not shown as they are of known type. - The belt passes through a
pre-compacting station 3, or first pressing station, the purpose of which is to compact the strip powders to obtain an article, of substantially parallelepiped form, of coherent material. This article can then be decorated if required and then divided into blanks of suitable dimensions depending on the final product size to be obtained. The firstpressing station 3 comprises two mutually superposedmotorized compactor devices 4 and 5, one of which is positioned below the belt 2 and the other above it at a distance from the belt 2 which can be adjusted on the basis of the thickness of the powder strip to be compacted and of the pressure at which the first pressing is to be carried out. Generally this pressure is between 20 and 100 kg/cm2. - Each of the
compactors 4 and 5 comprises a motorized roller and an idle roller, indicated respectively by thereference numerals respective band rollers idle rollers bands - The roller tables 43 and 53 delimit the compaction (or first pressing)
zone 100 of the powder strip, downstream of which there is provided adecompression zone 6 in which the powder strip expands, by virtue of suitable means, in a controlled manner to prevent the formation of cracks in the compacted article. - In the illustrated embodiment, said
decompression zone 6 comprises two superposed roller tables 44 and 54 positioned downstream of the roller tables 43 and 53 respectively. With reference to Figure 3, it can be seen that the roller table 44 is fixed and horizontal, whereas the roller table 54 is supported by aframe 55 via twoactuators 56 of hydraulic or mechanical type which enable the roller table to be adjusted in level and also to be inclined to the belt 2 to enable the compacted powder mass to expand with a very low deformation gradient compatible with the intrinsic characteristics of the powders. - In other embodiments the means present in the
decompression zone 6 can for example comprise at least one rigid plate, not shown, inclined to the plane of advancement of the compacted powder strip. In this case the plate maintains thebelt 52 pressed against the compacted article. - The pre-compacting or first pressing station also comprises means for laterally retaining the powders, these means in the illustrated embodiment being in the form of two
straps compactor device 5. - In this respect, each of the two straps passes partially about the
compactor device 5 and about twodeviator wheels - The two
straps compactors 4 and 5, and then contract laterally and increase their height in the decompression zone, to then return to their undeformed rest position in the other portions. - The lateral contraction of the straps in the decompression zones enables the expansion of the compacted article to be controlled in the direction of the article width, i.e. in a direction perpendicular to the advancement direction of the belt 2.
- It should be noted that the elastic material mixture with which the two straps are formed and the their particular profile are such as to counteract the lateral thrusts exerted by the material on the inner side of the straps during pressing.
- In the illustrated embodiment the straps are formed of closed-cell expanded EPDM rubber.
- Moreover the profile of the straps is such that during pressing, the inner side of the strap is practically flat and perpendicular to the conveyor belt 2. This minimizes the loss of material involved in making the compacted article perfectly parallelepiped.
- In this respect, Figure 4 shows that the profile of each of the straps comprises in its two lateral faces a depressed
central portion 103 connected to the ends by acurved portion 104. When the straps deform by squeezing, between thecompactors 4 and 5 thecentral portion 103 moves outwards to make the lateral face of the strap substantially flat, as shown in Figure 5. Finally it should be noted that as a result of this squeezing, the height of the cross-section through the strap decreases by about 50% from its undeformed height. This value can however vary on the basis of the type of profile used and the material with which the straps are formed.
