System and method of making an artificial stone having a controlled thickness

Abstract

A system for making an artificial stone is disclosed. The system comprises: a weighing and dosing unit; an upper conveyor positioned to receive an artificial stone mixture from a bottom exit of the weighing and dosing unit, wherein the artificial stone mixture comprises an inorganic filler and a polymeric binder; a lower conveyor, located partially under the upper conveyor, positioned to receive the artificial stone mixture from the upper conveyor; and a crushing cylinder located against distal rotating axes of the lower conveyor at a distance of 1 to 20 mm from the lower conveyor, rotating at a tangential speed which is at least twice higher than the speed of the lower conveyor, wherein the crushing cylinder is configured to lay and unify the artificial stone mixture on a final conveyor.
