Production method for hydraulic binder-based, tapered-edge boards
View Patent ↗The subject of the invention is a novel plasterboard and its manufacturing processes. The novel board comprises, on one side, two first parallel feathered edges and, on the other side, two other, second, parallel feathered edges that are perpendicular to the first ones; or, on one side, two first parallel feathered edges and, either on the same side or on the other side, two second parallel feathered edges that are perpendicular to the first ones, the said other parallel feathered edges having a width of between 100 and 200 mm; or, on one side, two first parallel feathered edges and, either on the same side or on the other side, two second parallel feathered edges that are perpendicular to the first ones, the said second parallel feathered edges having a width such that the ratio of the width of the said second parallel feathered edges to the width of the said first parallel feathered edges is between 1.5 and 5.
1. A process for manufacturing a hydraulic-binder-based board from a preform intended to be cut, comprising:
1) a hydraulic binder composition is poured onto a facing material supported by a conveyor belt, which comprises at least two forming tapes fitted with longitudinal tapes, the composition being covered with a second facing material so as to obtain a preform, and then an impression is made in the preform before the first forming tape;
2) the hydraulic binder composition is left to partly set on at least one forming tape;
3) a lath is introduced under the partially-set preform opposite the point or at the point where the impression has been made; and
4) the preform is cut at the impression created by the lath.
2. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the setting in step 2, corresponds to between 5 and 30% hydration.
3. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the lath is introduced after the first forming tape.
4. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the impression is made in an upper part of the preform and the lath is introduced opposite the point where the impression has been made, so as to form transverse edges on the same side as the longitudinal edges formed by the longitudinal tapes.
5. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the lath is removed after complete hydraulic setting.
6. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the lath is removed before complete hydraulic setting.
7. A process according to claim 6 , wherein the lath is introduced during a period corresponding to 0.5 to 5% hydration.
8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic binder comprises gypsum plaster.
