Abstract: Sheet, board or panel, in particular an OSRB (1)—Oriented Structural Reed Board—comprising a layer of material (2) made up of pressed reeds having a multiplicity of stems which are split predominantly longitudinally, so that it is also the case that the insides of the stems, at least in part, are accessible to a binder, wherein the binder is able to hold together the reeds for forming a solid sheet, board or panel. It is thus possible to provide a biocomposite sheet, board or panel based on sustainable raw materials which has improved properties and strength and requires only a particularly low level of production outlay. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing an OSRB (1).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for producing a panel, to a panel produced by the process and also to a scattering head and an outer-layer scattering head for producing a panel on the basis of cereal crops. A scattering head with pairs of smooth rollers and planetary rollers directly adjacent one another allows both long and short stalk half shells to be scattered homogeneously onto a conveyor belt over the entire length of the scattering head. Paddle wheels provide a transverse orientation, in particular in the case of long stalk half shells. Panels with a high density, low variation in density in the longitudinal direction and a smooth surface can thus be produced.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for comminuting a light-weight, dry, fiber-containing material, in particular straw.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming OSSB panels and OSB panels including a scattering head and a scattering arrangement, a method of forming such panels; a layer of an OSSB panel and an OSSB panel. The apparatus includes a scattering head for distribution of binder covered material particles on a conveyor belt.
