Plant for manufacturing e.g. calcium silicate building block, has rotatable agitating bodies rotated by drive units, where rotational axles of bodies extend into direction running parallel to traveling direction of carrier

摘要

The plant (1) has a loading trough (2) fastened to a carrier (10), so that the carrier and the trough are movable together in a direction from an unloading position in which an outlet opening (15) of the trough lies above a filling opening (27) of an arrangement of mold cavities (26). Rotatable agitating bodies (16) are positioned adjacent to each another above the outlet opening in the trough. The bodies are rotated by drive units (11) i.e. electromotors, where rotational axles of the bodies extend into a direction running parallel to a traveling direction (V) of the carrier. The plant comprises a supply unit for providing a curable building block mixture i.e. sand limestone mixture. An independent claim is also included for a method for operating a building block manufacturing plant.
