Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of manufactured slabs composed of a granulate or fine particles of stone material bonded with a hardening resin and, more specifically, to an improvement to the production process therefor.
- slabs are produced using a method in which a mixture composed of granulate material of selected particle size and synthetic resin is deposited in metered quantities on a conveyor belt which is advanced to a forming station (in which it is subjected to a vacuum compaction operation with simultaneous application of a vibratory movement of predetermined frequency) and subsequently to a station for hardening of the resin (preferably by means of the action of a catalyst and/or heat).
- the upper surface of the mixture deposited on the conveyor belt is covered with a sheet or layer of protective material, which prevents the pressing ram from being soiled by the mixture.
- this sheet of protective material was made of paper, the use of which, however, was accompanied by certain secondary problems subsequent to the actual production process, but nonetheless of considerable importance.
- An improvement was subsequently introduced (described and claimed in Italian patent application No. TV96A000007 filed on 29 January 1996), according to which the paper layer or sheet is replaced by a sheet of resilient material, preferably rubber.
- the rubber sheet can be removed, by means of tearing, from the surface of the finished slab and subsequently reused.
- the support on which the mixture is deposited before being transferred to the vacuum and vibration compacting station is also protected by a similar sheet of resilient material, in particular rubber.
- the mixture deposited on the support and enclosed between the two rubber sheets is in the form of a slab, at the edges of which the two protective rubber sheets are joined together by overlapping their respective edges, substantially completely so as to enclose the raw slab which has been formed but not yet subjected to the resinous binder hardening step. Since during compaction a portion of the mixture, albeit minimal, inevitably forms a bun- interposed between the two edges, after the resinous binder hardening step this burr forms incrustations on the rubber sheets, which are difficult to remove.
- the flat configuration of the lower sheet is replaced by a shaped configuration, comprising a flat base and a peripheral border projecting from said flat base over a predetermined height which is smaller by a predetermined amount than the height of the final slab to be produced, so that, after the compaction step, a gap of a predetermined thickness remains between the peripheral edge of the upper sheet and the top of the aforementioned border.
- the excess mixture material penetrates into this gap of predetermined thickness during the vacuum vibration compacting step and this material then remains attached to the edge of the slab during the hardening step.
- the final slab is released by tearing off the two rubber sheets, a hardened raw slab is obtained, said slab having peripherally a border of hardened material which can easily be removed during the normal finishing operations for a slab of stone material.
- Patent application No. TV97A000146 also describes and claims a specific structure of the rubber sheet, in particular the lower sheet, to which the peripheral border is attached, said border defining the cavity for initial deposition of the metered quantity of mixture.
- the said structure consists of two or more layers, usually four layers, such as: a first layer of rubber (VRF, EPM, PU) a first cloth or fabric of non-deformable material (Kevlar, polyester, nylon, aramide) a second layer of rubber (EPM, NBR) a second cloth or fabric of non-deformable material.
- this cloth or fabric is subjected to preliminary treatments, such as a pretensioning treatment, to avoid subsequent hysteresis phenomena, a thermal stabilization, etc.
- (d) possess optimal mechanical properties so as to contain the mixture without undergoing excessive deformations; undergo minimal shrinkage after forming so as to prevent the formation of surface irregularities in the final product; a good heat conductivity in order to favour the hardening of the slab.
- the most suitable are of a polymeric type resistant to temperature and to chemical agents, usually not for sulphur vulcanization, in particular synthetic rubbers known as EPM (ethylene and propylene copolymers), VKF (fluorocarbon rubbers) and PU (polyurethane rubbers).
- EPM ethylene and propylene copolymers
- VKF fluorocarbon rubbers
- PU polyurethane rubbers
- the final product has surface corrugations, as a result of the shrinkage of the material during the cooling phase and the - albeit minimal - residual elasticity of the rubber.
- Figure 1 coincides with Fig. 3 of Italian application No. TV97A000148, illustrating therefore the structure of the rubber sheets which was used in the previously mentioned method
- Figure 2 is a view, similar to that of Figure 1, of the composite structure in accordance with the present invention.
- Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the composite structure of the present invention corresponding to position A in Fig. 2.
- Figure 1 corresponds to Figure 3 of Italian patent application No. TV97A000148, which should be referred to for a detailed description.
- the starting mixture 130 is deposited in a cavity defined by a lower sheet 120 and by an upper or covering sheet 132.
- a perimetral border 120A is attached to the lower sheet 120.
- the sheet 120 has a composite structure consisting of a lower sheet of rubber 120 having a flat basis 120B and an inclined peripheral border 120A, a layer 120M of substantially inextensible cloth or fabric (such as Kevlar, polyester or nylon) is embedded and an upper sheet of rubber 132 which is spaced from the said border 120A through a gap 100 of a predetermined thickness along its peripheral edge 132A.
- the end portion 120E of the slab which is enclosed between the inclined surface 120C and a vertical cross-section defined by the line 120D, is the scrap material to be removed at a subsequent step of the manufacturing process.
- References X and S designate the thickness of the said peripheral border 120 A resp. of the mixture 130.
- the sheet 120 comprises two layers of rubber 220A and 220B, between which the layer of inextensible cloth or fabric 220M is interposed.
- the rubber of the layers 220A and B is an EPM rubber which is vulcanised by means of a peroxide using a known method.
- the selected rubber preferably has the following characteristics:
- Heat resistance 170°C The rubber is worked in such a way to achieve a maximum controlled planarity of 0.5 mm per linear metre, reaching the overall thickness of 4 mm.
- the cloth or fabric of the layer 220M preferably is of the type comprising a weft of polyamide or nylon and a warp of polyester, and is pretensioned in both directions (both weft and warp).
- a second layer of cloth or fabric 220N having the same characteristics as the layer 220M is added underneath the rubber layer 220B.
- the composite sheet, thus formed, is preferably subjected to a stabilising treatment prior to use, consisting of heating for a few hours (generally from 1 to 3 hours) to a temperature higher than the maximum operating temperature, so that, in the present method (in which resin hardening takes place at a temperature in the region of 150°C), the stabilising temperature is in the region of 160°C (for approximately 2 hours).
- a stabilising treatment consisting of heating for a few hours (generally from 1 to 3 hours) to a temperature higher than the maximum operating temperature, so that, in the present method (in which resin hardening takes place at a temperature in the region of 150°C), the stabilising temperature is in the region of 160°C (for approximately 2 hours).
- both the lower sheet 220 and the upper sheet should have the same structure, so as to guarantee perfect homogeneity of thermal exchange with the mixture contained in the "sheath" defined by the two - upper and lower - rubber sheets.
- the lower cloth 220N also favours the handling of said sheath containing the mixture through the various stations of the slab production plant.
- the compressive strength or rather the resistance to extreme loads of the moulding sheath is increased, preventing the appearance of wrinkles on the surfaces of the product.
