Apparatus for manufacturing concrete panels with surface pattern decorations

Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing concrete panels with surface decoration patterns thereon said surface decoration patterns being formed by finishing material containing color cement or pigments or other coloring materials. The apparatus comprises a mortar hopper having a mortar outlet opening and a mortar shoot extending downward from beneath the outlet opening of the hopper. A molding surface is positioned below the mortar shoot and the mortar shoot extends to the molding surface. Color mortar containers are disposed above the mortar shoot to discharge color mortar materials contained therein. A mixing means incompletely mixes the mortar with the color mortar materials on the mortar shoot, a mixed mortar inverting descent guide plate is connected to the lower end of the mortar shoot and a vibrator is attached to the mortar shoot. The mortar layer which is obtained with color patterns produced through the incomplete mixing carried out by the mixing means is laid on the molding surface by the relative movement between the mixed mortar inverting descent guide plate and the molding surface.
