Abstract: The invention relates to a device for manufacturing an OSB beam with a web and at least one flange. The starting material for the beam is wood strands of OSB type. The device comprises a feeder device for advancing the strands, a metering device for metering out the strands, a nozzle, through which the metered strands pass, and a receiving surface for receiving the strands. The feeder device, the metering device and the nozzle are adapted for applying strands to the receiving surface in the form of an elongated bead. The height of the bead is at every point of the cross-section substantially adapted to the web and flange of the beam being made. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing an OSB beam and to a computer readable medium comprising a program.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for manufacturing an OSB beam (39) with a web (41) and at least one flange (43). The starting material for the beam is wood strands (17) of OSB type. The device comprises a feeder device (3) for advancing the strands (17), a metering device (5) for metering out the strands, a nozzle (7), through which the metered strands pass, and a receiving surface (9) for receiving the strands. The feeder device (3), the metering device (5) and the nozzle (7) are adapted for applying strands to the receiving surface (9) in the form of an elongated bead (37). The height of the bead is at every point of the cross-section substantially adapted to the web and flange of the beam (39) being made.
