In a procedure for the longitudinal orientation of chips, particularly during the manufacturing of OSB boards, spaced apart discs are located on rotating shafts sequentially one after the other. The discs are positioned above a forming belt that receives the chips after they are oriented by the discs. The discs are located on each of the shafts, and these discs together with the longitudinal side walls of an enclosure for the discs, function to longitudinally orient the wood chips to the point of deposit upon the forming belt.

Method and apparatus for longitudinal orientation of wood chips

A chip material container arrangement is provided for storage of material to be spread in the production of particle and/or fiber boards. The container arrangement is equipped with several discharge rollers arranged one above the other, a base belt and feeder devices. With a discharge opening extending over the width of the container, the density distribution of the material to be spread is controlled by removing appropriately dimensioned material quantities from individual partial streams which partial streams are later combined in the area of the discharge opening to form a total material flow.

An apparatus for aligning chips in the manufacture of strandboards functions to align the chips in a preferred direction by means of vertical aligning plates arranged parallel to one another and equally spaced apart. Spacing rings, spiked discs, solid discs and spiked discs are alternately arranged in that order and in the same sequence on rotating shafts located above the guide plates. The rotating shafts are arranged perpendicular to the preferred direction of chip deposition and are parallel and at a distance from and adjacent to each other. A mounting for each of the spikes of the spiked discs is proposed for the purpose of accurately maintaining a preferred direction for large chips being processed.

The present invention relates to an unloading rack for a heat press. The unloading rack includes an extracting device for removing product from the heat press onto a conveyer system, and the extracting device and conveyer system are connected to elevator structure for raising and lowering them in correlation to the various levels of the press. The conveyer systems includes an individual conveyer for each level of the heat press, and each individual conveyer has standard and auxiliary storing levels.

This invention relates to a process and a device for the distribution of a conveyed flow, such as particles for the preparation of chipboard, fiberboard, or the like, by means of a separation of the conveyed flow into two partial flows. The distribution is continuous and uniform and provided, for example, by a distributing device which may have a variable insertion into the flow stream. The distributing device may have a separating plate with an active edge having regularly-spaced tongues and slots. A dividing plate having chutes of variable width extending through it can be used to vary the ratio of particles separated in the two directions. Baffled rollers may be used to ultimately guide the separated streams. The separation may also be accomplished by chambered rollers rotating in opposite directions.
