A method of manufacturing a composite building element, wherein the method uses a filling station configured to secure a bulk material to a first sheet of casing material,
- a feed station configured to feed the first sheet of casing material into the filling station, an insert station that is configured to secure a locking element to the first sheet of casing material before the bulk material is secured to the first sheet of casing material, wherein the system is configured to feed the first sheet of casing material from the insert station into the filling station,
- the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) using the feed station to continuously feed the first sheet of casing material into the filling station;
- (b) using the filling station to secure the bulk material to the first sheet of casing material;
- (c) using the insert station to secure the locking element to the first sheet of casing material prior to the filling station securing the bulk material to the first sheet of casing material.
A composite building element manufactured using a system for manufacturing composite building elements, the system comprising:
- a filling station configured to secure a bulk material to a first sheet of casing material,
- a feed station configured to feed the first sheet of casing material into the filling station,
- an insert station that is configured to secure a locking element to the first sheet of casing material before the bulk material is secured to the sheet of casing material,
- wherein the system is configured to feed the first sheet of casing material from the insert station into the filling station.
