FORMING STATION

摘要

The invention relates to a forming station, comprising a metering hopper. Fr ee- flowing materials, in particular, particles or fibres are fed from said hopp er to a spreading device which spreads a mat of material on to a forming belt. The invention is characterised in that a chute containing compartments (2, 5 1) is positioned vertically and longitudinally in the transport flow between th e metering hopper (1) and the forming belt (4, 53). Said chute consists of several guiding metal sheets (9, 39, 40, 41, 54, 56, 57) which are arranged next to each other in the direction of transport (36) and which subdivide th e transport flow into several partial flows (38, 55, 56) in the direction of transport (36, 62, 76).
