Abstract
A method for producing a roof tile having a water barrier, wherein the water barrier is shaped onto a roof tile blank, which is supplied onto a lower mould, of a shaping unit, with a shaped piece and a shaping stamp that can move in relation to same. The shaped piece is placed on an upper side of a top end of the roof tile blank, and the shaping stamp is pressed against the top end of the roof tile blank, such that material of the roof tile blank is pressed into a shaping mould of the shaped piece. The roof tile blank is also arranged below the shaping unit and the shaping unit is vertically lowered onto the roof tile blank. The invention also relates to a roof tile produced according to this method having a water barrier shaped thereon.

A method for producing a roof tile having a water barrier, wherein the water barrier is shaped on a roof tile blank, comprising:
- feeding the roof tile blank on a lower mold, to a shaping unit, with a shaped piece and a shaping stamp which is movable relative to said shaped piece,
- placing the shaped piece onto a top surface of a head end of the roof tile blank and moving the shaping stamp parallel to the lower mold and to the shaped piece,
- pressing the shaping stamp against the head end of the roof tile blank such that material of the roof tile blank is pressed into a shaping recess of the shaped piece, the roof tile blank being arranged below the shaping unit and the shaping unit being lowered vertically onto the roof tile blank, the method further comprising:
- providing less than an entire top surface of the roof tile blank with a separator prior to the realization of the water barrier,
- guiding a bottom surface of the shaping stamp to a height with a bottom surface of the roof tile blank, and
- pressing the shaping stamp at a penetration depth E of between 10 and 20 mm into the head end of the roof tile blank,
- wherein the separator is applied onto the top surface of the head end of the roof tile blank as a 2 to 5 cm wide strip.
A roof tile having a water barrier shaped thereon which is produced using a method comprising:
- feeding a roof tile blank on a lower mold, to a shaping unit, with a shaped piece and a shaping stamp which is movable relative to said shaped piece,
- placing the shaped piece onto a top surface of a head end of the roof tile blank and moving the shaping stamp parallel to the lower mold and to the shaped piece,
- pressing the shaping stamp against the head end of the roof tile blank such that material of the roof tile blank is pressed into a shaping recess of the shaped piece, the roof tile blank being arranged below the shaping unit and the shaping unit being lowered vertically onto the roof tile blank,
- providing the top surface of the roof tile blank with a separator prior to the realization of the water barrier,
- guiding a bottom surface of the shaping stamp to a height with a bottom surface of the roof tile blank,
- pressing the shaping stamp at a penetration depth E of between 10 and 20 mm into the head end of the roof tile blank,
- realizing the water barrier and the roof tile in one piece and the water barrier comprising a planar rear side, and
- indenting the water barrier at a depth T of between 10 and 20 mm with respect to the head end of the roof tile blank with and at least one suspension lug being realized on the bottom surface of the roof tile blank at a minimum distance M from the head end of the roof tile blank,
- wherein the minimum distance M corresponds to at least the sum of the depth T of the setback and the thickness S of the water barrier (M >T+S).
