A dual belt press comprises opposed movable belts and a chamber disposed adjacent one of said belts for containing a medium to be applied to such belt. The chamber is defined by a frame. A seal for the medium is carried by the frame. The frame includes a holder attached to said frame and defining a serpentine groove. The holder comprises separate ledges disposed on opposite sides of the groove and defining the groove. Each ledge comprises a plurality of pieces abutting each other in the direction of belt travel. Pieces on opposite sides of said groove are mutually separable in a direction transverse to the direction of belt travel. A sealing strip is mounted in the groove.
