Abstract
An apparatus for forming a mat of comminuted material for the production of pressed board comprises a conveyor belt forming a transport path and a receiving surface for the mat and a plurality of spreading machines spaced apart along the band for depositing respective layers of comminuted material on the surface to form the mat. Each of the spreading machines has a feeder for feeding the comminuted material to a roller grate for depositing the comminuted material in a respective layer with longitudinal orientation of the comminuted material in the direction of movement of the belt. At least one of the machines is provided with a transverse orienter between the roller grate and the belt for imparting a transverse orientation to the comminuted material deposited on the belt. The orienter is shiftable between a position wherein it is interposed between the roller grate of the belt and a position in which it is offset from the interposed position.
