Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system and method of making composite boards.
  • the invention is particularly suited for composite boards requiring a high strength to weight ratio such as, but not limited to a shuttering board.
  • Composite boards in the form of shuttering boards are commonly used at construction sites to maintain poured concrete in a desired shape. It is particularly used in maintaining poured concrete so that, when set, it forms a vertical pylon or the like. This process of maintaining the poured concrete in predefined shapes is also known as formwork.
  • Plywood shuttering boards Plywood shuttering boards. Such shuttering boards are cheap. However, they are subjected to degradation with each use. As a result, plywood shuttering boards are often re-used somewhere between 8 to 10 times before they need to be changed. Changing such shuttering boards consumes additional labour and material costs. Furthermore, the used plywood shuttering boards must be disposed of in some manner, often by incineration, which creates further environmental problems.
  • Typical methods of producing the aforementioned composite shuttering boards include the hot and cold press methods. In the two methods, a plurality of layers making the composite boards have to be pre-cut to fit into a relevant press. In addition, the dimensions of the composite boards produced are often limited by the press. If there is a need to produce a composite board which falls out of range of dimensions allowable by the press, there is a need to acquire suitable press(es). This will incur further costs for the producer.
  • the hot press method may reduce the press time to about 8 minutes by using adhesive which is both heat and pressure activated, the hot press method is not particularly suited for plastic based shuttering boards because melting of the plastic layer(s) is likely to take place when the adhesive is being heated. Such melted plastic layer(s) are likely to be cooled unevenly, and thus compromising the overall quality of the composite board.
  • the hot press method requires 'cooling' periods to prevent overheating. This reduces productivity.
  • Another method of producing plastic shuttering boards is through extrusion of the plastic layers. While extrusion typically overcomes the problem of speed of the cold and hot press methods, the dimension of the composite boards is limited by the extrusion capacity. In addition, extrusion methods typically incur high wastage of materials during start up stage. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method of producing the composite boards which alleviates at least one of the aforementioned problems.
  • a method of bonding a plurality of layers for producing a laminated composite board comprising the steps of: applying heat activated adhesive on a bonding surface of each or alternate layer from the plurality of layers which is to be bonded, and directing a localized heat source to the bonding surface and the applied heat activated adhesive as the composite board is being laminated.
  • the process of directing the localized heat source and the lamination of the composite board is facilitated by a conveyer assembly.
  • the conveyer assembly moves at a speed of up to 4 metres per minute.
  • the conveyer assembly movers at a production speed of 0.7 metres per minute to 4 metres per minute.
  • the temperature of the localized heat source is between 60 and 500 degree Celsius.
  • the temperature of the localized heat source is approximately 10 to 50 degree Celsius higher than the softening temperature of the heat activated adhesive.
  • the localized heat source is directed to a focused heating zone at a distance of approximately 100mm from the bonding surface.

  • the thickness of the core layer should be roughly 80%.
  • the composite board may have a groove cut along each edge adapted to receive an edge bander made of a plastic material.
  • an edge bander made of a plastic material.
  • the whole composite board may be applied under heavy loads for a certain duration until the adhesives are set.
  • the heat activated adhesive film may be applied on the plastic layer alone, or the core wood layer alone, or both layers.
  • the second and fourth layers 14, 16, 18 may be made of metal other than aluminium. In other variations of the invention, the second and fourth layers 16, 18 may be stainless steel or copper.
  • the material used in the third layer 20 of the composite board 10 as described in the first embodiment may take the form of a foam of such material.
  • a filler material may be used in the third layer 16 of the composite board 10 as described in the first embodiment.
  • Examples of the type of filer material that may be used include: talc fillers; wood fillers, fibreglass or any other reinforcing filling agent.
  • the thickness of the middle core layer of wood as described in the third embodiment may be varied between 5 to 30mm.
  • the thickness of the first and last layer of plastic as described in the third embodiment may be varied between 0.5 to 5mm.
  • the thickness of the core middle layer of plastic as described in the first embodiment may be varied between 5 to 30mm.
  • the thickness of the second and fourth layer of metal as described in the first embodiment may be varied between 0.1 to 2mm.
  • the thickness of the first and last layer of plastic as described in the third embodiment may be varied between 0.5 to 5mm. It should be further appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the features described above, where not mutually exclusive, can be combined to form yet further embodiments of the invention.
