Abstract: Fiberboard or chipboard is made by first comminuting vegetable starting material in a first comminutor into a stream of loose plant particles with silicate particles. Then, in a first classifier silicate particles of a diameter of less than 50 ?m are separated from the plant particles of the stream. The plant particles remaining in the stream are then glue-coated, and the stream is pressed into fiberboard or chipboard.

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation for producing glued plant particles, in particular from annual plants (e.g. straw), in order to produce boards, e.g. fibreboards or chipboards, having at least one comminuting apparatus (2) for comminuting plant-based starting material to form scatterable plant particles, and having a gluing apparatus (15) for gluing the plant particles. This installation is characterized in that at least one first screening apparatus (3) for separating silicate particles from the plant particles is arranged between the comminuting apparatus (2) and the gluing apparatus (15).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for separating and/or recovering silicate particles from plant material. This device and the method are characterized by an air classifier (3, 14), which has at least one material inlet (4), an air inlet (6), arranged under the material inlet (4), an air outlet (7) and at least one particle receptacle (8), arranged under the air outlet, wherein the plant particles recovered from plant material by crushing can be subjected to an air stream in the air classifier (3, 14) in such a way that silicate particles contained in the plant material are removed by the air stream via the air outlet (7) and, as a result of gravitational force, the plant particles are received by the particle receptacle (8) arranged under the air outlet (7) and taken away.

Abstract: A device for gluing fibers or similar particles, in particular for the production of wood material panels, for example fiber panels, having a blowline (3) through which the fibers to be glued are transported, wherein there are connected to the blowline a plurality of nozzles (4) which issue into the blowline and by means of which the fibers transported through the blowline can be sprayed with glue, wherein the nozzles (4) are formed as multiple-substance nozzles, for example two-substance nozzles for the purpose of steam atomization, to which nozzles in each case at least one glue feed line (5) and one steam feed line (6) are connected, characterized in that in each case one glue valve (7) and one throughflow measurement device (8) are integrated into the glue feed lines (5), and in that the glue valves (7) and the throughflow measurement devices (8) are connected to at least one control and/or regulating device, such that the throughflow rate for each glue feed line (5) can be separately controlled or regula
