Abstract
A slab of composite material is made by unloading a material from mixers and passing it through hoppers, extractor/conveyor belts, a homogenizing disk, conveyor belts, leveling hoppers, an extracting belt and an underlying leveling hopper to an underlying mold, to produce the slab which can have veins of a natural type, a leopard skin coloring, a coloring similar to natural granite, or a coloring of natural marble.

A slab of composite material made by a method performed by a system for producing composite material slabs and comprising the steps of unloading a material from one or more mixers (1, 2) to hoppers (3, 4) unloading the material from the hoppers (3, 4) to one or more extractor/conveyor belts (5, 6);
- feeding the material from the one or more extractor/conveyor belts (5, 6) to a homogenizing disk (7) rotating about a vertical axis;
- feeding the material from said homogenizing disk (7) to conveyor belts (14,17) that convey a material to a leveling hopper (18);
- conveying the material from the leveling hopper (18) with a double-stroke (19) belt which takes the material by its movement and unloading the material homogeneously to an additional leveling hopper (20);
- taking the material from the additional leveling hopper (20) by an extracting belt (21) so as to cause the material to distribute along a length of the extracting belt (21);
- unloading the material from the extracting belt (21) to an underlying leveling hopper (22);
- and moving the extracting belt (21) with the underlying leveling hopper (22) that is integral to the extracting belt (21), so as to unload the material to an underlying mold (23), thereby covering the whole surface of the mold and filling the mold.
