Abstract

A building material manufacturing apparatus includes a sieve portion 10 and a receiver 30 that receives a building raw material M that has passed through the meshes of the sieve portion 10. The sieve portion 10 includes a series of sheets that are each capable of performing a wave motion when the apparatus is operating, that have an inclination, and that are arranged in a direction of the inclination. The series of sheets include a sieve sheet 12 and a sieve sheet 13 positioned below the sieve sheet 12. In the sieve sheet 12, meshes having an identical size are arranged at a regular pitch in a sheet width direction W. In the sieve sheet 13, meshes having two or more different sizes are arranged or a mesh region R1 and a non-mesh region R2 are arranged, in the sheet width direction W. The receiver 30 is movable below the series of sheets. The building material manufacturing method includes, by using the apparatus, forming a mat on the receiver 30, the mat including a first layer formed from a part of the building raw material M that has passed through the meshes of the sieve sheet 12 and a second layer formed from a part of the building raw material M that has passed through the meshes of the sieve sheet 13.
