Abstract:
An apparatus for forming monolithic compressed wood pallets with increased load capacity includes
a storage component having a chamber for collecting the mixture, inside which a first conveyor belt is accommodated for feeding a uniform layer of mixture toward an outlet. The first belt is wound around at least one motorized roller and entrained by it with a feed speed.
The apparatus also includes a pressing component with a lower mold part and an upper mold part between which a receptacle for forming a pallet is provided.
A second conveyor belt is interposed between the storage component and the pressing component. The apparatus further includes a component for modulating at least one among feed speed, the advancement speed, and the translation speed so as to obtain adjustment of quantity of mixture loaded/unloaded on/from upper portion of the second belt along an extension of the mat.
