Abstract
A facility for producing mineral wool, including at least one supply device for supplying mineral fibers and a fiber-distribution station including a conveyor belt which can move in a longitudinal direction and on which the mineral fibers can be received so as to form a mineral fiber mat, wherein the fiber distribution station includes a roller table arranged on the passage of the mineral fibers that are intended to fall by gravity onto the conveyor belt, wherein each roller can be driven in rotation about a transverse axis of rotation, the rollers being configured to orient the mineral fibers longitudinally on the conveyor belt.

A facility for producing mineral wool, comprising at least one supply device for supplying mineral fibers and a fiber distribution station comprising a conveyor belt which is movable in a longitudinal direction and on which the mineral fibers are receivable so as to form a mineral fiber mat, wherein the fiber distribution station comprises a roller table arranged on a passage of the mineral fibers that are intended to fall by gravity onto the conveyor belt, the roller table comprising a plurality of rollers, wherein each roller is adapted to be driven in rotation about a transverse axis of rotation, the plurality of rollers being configured to orient the mineral fibers longitudinally on the conveyor belt,
- wherein the roller table extends mainly along an axis inclined relative to a main extension plane of the conveyor belt, and
- wherein a tilt of the roller table relative to the main extension plane of the conveyor belt is determined by an angle calculated as a function of a thickness of the mineral fiber mat intended to rest on the conveyor belt, so that a vertical clearance is constant between each of the plurality of rollers and the conveyor belt and/or the mineral fiber mat.

- wherein the roller table extends mainly along an axis inclined relative to a main extension plane of the conveyor belt, and
- wherein each roller of the roller table extends at a vertical distance from the conveyor belt specific to said roller, with a gradual increase in said vertical distance between two adjacent rollers of the roller table, considering the direction of movement of the conveyor belt.
