Patent number: 12673898Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a hydraulically-bonded multilayer panel with at least one face layer and at least one core layer, wherein the method comprises the following steps a. introducing a flowable face mixture into a mold. The face mixture contains at least the following components i. face paste containing at least 1. hydraulic binder and 2. water; and ii. aggregate. The aggregate has a mean diameter d50 determined according to ISO 13320:2009 and/or according to EN 12620 of greater than 100.0 ?m; whereby a face mixture layer is formed; b. introducing a dry to earth-moist core mixture into the mold, wherein the core mixture contains at least the following components i. core paste containing at least 1. hydraulic binder, 2. fines, wherein the fines have a mean diameter d50 determined according to ISO 13320:2009 of up to 100.0 ?m, and 3. water; and ii.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 7, 2026Assignees: METTEN Consulting GmbH, Semmelrock International GmbH, Birkenmeier GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 11110627Abstract: A device (1, 1?) is depicted and described for processing concrete blocks (2), including: a transport device (3) for the transport of concrete blocks (2), and means (4, 4?) for the mechanical processing of the edges of the concrete blocks (2), wherein the means (4, 4?) for the mechanical processing are arranged above the transport device (3). In order to be able to process the concrete blocks (2) in a constructively simple manner with low mechanical stress, it is proposed, to pivot-mount the means (4, 4?) for the mechanical processing. In addition, a method for processing concrete blocks (2) is depicted and described.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: METTEN Stein+Design GmbH & Co.
