A PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHTWEIGHT FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE PANELS

摘要

A production system and method for manufacturing individual building blocks or panels of lightweight fiber reinforced concrete, the method consisting of generating raw materials, conveying measured ingredients, mixing ingredients in accordance with a formula of additives, fiber, cement powder, water, and specially coated and sized Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads, and conveying the resultant lightweight admixture through distribution into molds on casting elements, is provided. The production line for manufacturing the lightweight fiber reinforced concrete panels has a main conveyance system, material lifts, storage racks, climate controlled curing facility, yard conveyor system, cross-transfer units, return conveyor, wash station, drying station, release agent station, framework manufacturing equipment. The main conveyance system has casting elements which are designed to receive in an operable arrangement frames and molds. The formwork or frames are determined based on the design specifications shapes and sizes determined by a CAD system or such other input, be it mechanical or manual, to achieve the panel output production.
