MACHINE FOR CLEAVING SLATE

摘要

This machine is intended to cleave a block of slate to obtain slate sheets using a cutter on the upper side face of the slate block with the bases thereof arranged on vertical planes. It is characterised in that it comprises at least two work stations corresponding to two longitudinal beds of rollers (1) that are interrupted in a central transversal zone where there are tilting support elements (3) that flip the slate blocks (4) initially drawn by these rollers. Level with this central transversal zone there is a movable truck (8) coupled at the top to transversal guide bars (9), such that said truck incorporates the corresponding cutting cutter and also a characteristic clamp to seal the shear plane of the corresponding slate block (4).
