Roof tiles and wall tiles and process for their manufacture

Abstract

A process is described for manufacturing laminated pieces, such as tiles and wall tiles, by means of successive independent extrusion of mortars or concretes, process in which mortar is deposited on some molds, said mortar is extruded and compacted and is dislodged from a transversal strip in the zone of contact of two consecutive molds. Thereafter a complete sheet of mortars is shaped on the first layer, filling in turn the emptied transversal zone and the limited sides and lastly the thickness of the piece is cut in its entirety in a vertical transversal plane. An installation is also described for carrying out the abovementioned process which in essence includes a molding bench with a series of molding heads, a lower pushing train of the molds, a bevelling mechanism inserted between the heads and which is provided with incisor blades and with devices for evacuating and returning the mortar, as well as with a cutting mechanism provided after the last head. Finally, a concrete tile is also described manufactured by double or by multiple extrusions, composed of two or of various layers of different mortars with a homogeneous external appearance.
