  • Patent number: 11433576
    Abstract: The equipment for the production of slabs in mineral grits bound with resins, comprises: a support frame, at least one lower plate, locked together with the frame, comprising at least one positioning zone for at least one mold having at least one forming cavity, open at the top, to contain a mix comprising the materials necessary to obtain the slabs, at least one pressing assembly comprising an upper plate movable, with respect to the frame, from an upper position of loading/unloading the mold in/from the positioning zone, to a lower position of pressing the mix inside said forming cavity, vibrating means associated at least with the lower plate, and an airtight chamber, communicating with suction means, adapted to reduce the pressure to a value lower than the atmospheric pressure, containing the mold, where the chamber is interposed between the lower plate and an upper closing element opposite the lower plate.

  • Publication number: 20060120634
    Abstract: A method for forming containers comprises selectively heating a first web and second webs, joining together the first web and the second web along intended outlines of containers so as to form pouches bounded by the intended outlines and conduit means leading out into the pouches, the conduit means being suitable to inject therethrough a forming fluid, forming the containers by expanding the pockets by injecting the forming fluid through the conduit means apparatus for forming containers, comprises indexing a first web and a second web of sheet material through a heating station provided with selective heating means arranged to selectively heat the first web more than the second web and through a welding-and-forming station in which opposing portions of the first web and second web are joined together by welding-and-forming means along intended outlines of containers so as to form pouches and conduit means leading out into said pouches to inject therein a forming fluid and form the containers by expanding the
