  • Patent number: 9896841
    Abstract: A prefabricated building product structure made of sintered expanded polystyrene includes a composite assembly formed by aggregating steel to the sintered expanded polymeric mass, preferably of high density, and by embedding therein rod-like steel elements, preferably pre-assembled and forming a cage of electrowelded elements. A method of related production includes positioning the rod-like steel elements, preferably pre-assembled forming a cage of electrowelded elements, in the mold for the expansion of the polystyrene, pouring in the mold incoherent granules or pearls obtained from the polymerization of the styrene, with grain size and volume appropriate for the attainment of a high density finished product, expanding and sintering or amassing the incoherent polystyrene through contact with water vapor at a temperature higher than ninety degrees centigrade, and trapping the armor in the monolithic mass thus obtained to attain a solid geometry, according to the mold, of armored sintered expanded polystyrene.

  • Patent number: 8894397
    Abstract: In a process and a device for producing blocks of expanded polystyrene, a loose mass (7) of polystyrene spheres is expanded in a mold (2-3), where a rear surface (9) of the polystyrene block (8) previously produced delimits the mold forming chamber. Therefore, through adherence the newly formed block (7-8) is joined to the rear end (9) of the block previously formed, and the block (8) made in this way is fed forward until it forms the rear end (9) for another newly expanded block (8), and so on to produce a sort of continuous block (8), which can be formed for cutting to any desired size, without producing any waste.

  • Patent number: 5547118
    Abstract: A slewing device having a quickly adjustable drive is available for inserting and cutting cross wires in automated equipment for the prefabrication of building panels. The device includes a bridge that may be selectively tilted to planes transverse to the line of conveyance of the panels supported by a bank of electronically-controlled electric motor drives. Each drive motor operates a corresponding device for pulling at least one metal wire so as to push and insert the wire at substantially any angle through a layer of plastic material sandwiched between sheets of wire netting to form the panel after passing through coaxial cutting devices for trimming the wire after its insertion.
