Abstract
Particle boards are manufactured by the use of a forming line in which particulate material such as wood chips intermixed with a binder is deposited, in the form of a mat, by a scattering station 3 onto mat carriers moving on a forming conveyor 1 past the scattering station. The mat carriers are loaded by way of an accelerating conveyor 4 onto a faster moving storage conveyor 5 and are then stacked in the tiers of a vertically movable stacker loader 13 which in turn feeds a consolidation press for consolidating the mat sections into particle board. After the pressing operation the particle boards are ejected from the far side of the press and the now empty mat carriers are returned via the stacker-loader and a return conveyor 8 to a forwarding station 2 which feeds the mat carriers back onto the forming conveyor 1 for re-use. In a particularly preferred arrangement a pallet is provided in respect of each tier of the stacker-loader and the mat carriers are loaded onto the upper surface of the pallet and thereby introduced into the press. The pallet serves to eject the finished board from the far side of the press and to return the empty mat carrier which is slung beneath the pallet.
