Artificial marble production device and artificial marble produced using same

A system for manufacturing artificial marble, comprising:

• a granite soil storage unit configured to supply a granite soil by storing, drying, and heating it;
• a granite soil heating unit configured to heat the granite soil supplied from the granite soil storage unit;
• a resin storage unit configured to store a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resin maintained in a solid phase at room temperature;
• a mixing-transporting unit configured to accommodate the TPU resin and the heated granite soil from the granite soil heating unit therein and then melting and mixing them to produce and simultaneously transport an artificial marble slurry;
• a material guide unit configured to guide the granite soil and the TPU resin into the mixing-transporting unit;
• a discharge unit configured to discharge the artificial marble slurry mixed in the mixing-transporting unit by a certain amount;
• a mold supply unit configured to continuously supply a mold for accommodating and molding the artificial marble slurry therein;
• a mold guide unit configured to guide the mold supplied from the mold supply unit downward of the discharge unit to accommodate the artificial marble slurry in the mold;
• a forming unit configured to form an artificial marble by applying vibration and pressure to the artificial marble slurry accommodated in the mold;
• an extraction unit configured to extract the mold accommodating the artificial marble;
• and a lamination unit configured to laminate and store the mold extracted by the extraction units wherein the granite soil storage unit has a dehumidification function for removing water from the granite soil, and wherein the granite soil heating unit comprises a low temperature portion having a heating temperature of 100 to 300° C., an intermediate temperature portion having a heating temperature of 150 to 350° C., and a high temperature portion having a heating temperature of 200 to 400° C., and the granite soil is gradually heated to a temperature of 150 to 250° C.
