Double skinned reinforced insulated panel for partition or outer walls - has thin outer skins of concrete reinforced with steel or plastics fibres oriented by vibratory casting method on each side of insulating fill

摘要

The panels are manufactured in casting table moulds (7) under a hopper (2) for mixing the concrete and reinforcing fibres. The reinforcement comprises a mixture of steel and polypropylene fibres, with polypropylene only, on external faces. A vibrator (4) assists the uniform mixing of concrete and fibres. A damper (3) controls the discharge from the hopper (2), and guide vanes (8) direct the orientation of fibres with the assistance of a discharge vibrator (6). A wiper (10) controls the thickness of deposited material. After placing the first skin, core insulation is added, followed by the second concrete skin.
