Abstract
Abstract Process and apparatus for the continuous production of chipboards, fibreboards, or the like from lignocellulose containing particles mixed with binders, which particles are strewed onto an endless conveyor belt forming a mat or fleece, which mat is subsequently introduced into a press and compressed therein to a panel sheet under the effect of heat during which period the binder hardens, characterized by heating apparatus for heating the upper cover layer of the mat before the mat enters the feeding zone of the press. Preferred apparatus for heating the upper cover layer of the mat includes indirect radiant heat supplying devices such as infra-red lamps. The preferred temperature range to which the upper mat cover layer is heated is 30 DEG to 50 DEG C.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
In a process for continuously producing particle board in which (a) wood cellulose-containing particles are mixed with a binding agent, (b) the mixture so obtained is spread onto an endless conveyor belt to form a layer having a high content of fines and dust of said wood cellulose-containing particles at least on an upper surface thereof, (c) the layer so formed is moved into a press at a speed causing at least some of the fines and dust on the upper surface of said layer to be blown away from said layer, and (d) the layer is then compressed in said press under the influence of heat so that said binding agent is hardened and said particle board is thereby formed, the improvement wherein prior to entry of said layer into said press the upper surface of said layer is heated in such a manner that blowing off of fines and dust from said layer as said layer moves into said press is prevented.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
In a process for continuously producing particle board in which (a) wood cellulose-containing particles are mixed with a binding agent, (b) the mixture so obtained is spread onto an endless conveyor belt to form a layer having a high content of fines and dust of said wood cellulose-containing particles at least on an upper surface thereof, (c) the layer so formed is moved into a press at a speed causing at least some of the fines and dust on the upper surface of said layer to be blown away from said layer, and (d) the layer is then compressed in said press under the influence of heat so that said binding agent is hardened and said particle board is thereby formed, the improvement wherein prior to entry of said layer into said press the upper surface of said layer is heated in such a manner that blowing off of fines and dust from said layer as said layer moves into said press is prevented.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the upper surface of said layer is heated to a temperature of about 30° to 50° C by means of indirect radiant heating.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the upper surface of said layer is heated by means of radiant heating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
165 words
In a process for continuously producing particle board in which (a) wood cellulose-containing particles are mixed with a binding agent, (b) the mixture so obtained is spread by air sifting onto an endless conveyor belt to form a layer having a high content of fines and dust of said wood cellulose-containing particles on an upper surface thereof, (c) the layer so formed is moved into a press at a speed causing at least some of the fines and dust on the upper surface of said layer to be blown away from said layer, and (d) the layer is then compressed in said press under the influence of heat so that said binding agent is hardened and said particle board is thereby formed, the improvement wherein prior to entry of said layer into said press, the upper surface of said layer is heated in such a manner that blowing off of fines and dust from said layer as said layer moves into said press is prevented.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
165 words
In a process for continuously producing particle board in which (a) wood cellulose-containing particles are mixed with a binding agent, (b) the mixture so obtained is spread by air sifting onto an endless conveyor belt to form a layer having a high content of fines and dust of said wood cellulose-containing particles on an upper surface thereof, (c) the layer so formed is moved into a press at a speed causing at least some of the fines and dust on the upper surface of said layer to be blown away from said layer, and (d) the layer is then compressed in said press under the influence of heat so that said binding agent is hardened and said particle board is thereby formed, the improvement wherein prior to entry of said layer into said press, the upper surface of said layer is heated in such a manner that blowing off of fines and dust from said layer as said layer moves into said press is prevented.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 4, wherein the upper surface of said layer is heated by means of radiant heating.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 5, wherein said upper surface is heated to a temperature of about 30° to 50° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 4, wherein said upper surface is heated to a temperature of about 30° to 50° C.
