Abstract

A continuously operating material press comprising temperature-controllable and drivable central drum 1 and a tensioned endless steel belt which passes around a major portion of the surface of the central drum and is supported by at least two guide drums and a tensioning drum. An increase in the pressure acting on a strip of material which is guided between the steel belt and the surface of the central drum is achieved by providing an additional pressing means which comprises a roller chain and an additional high-tensile steel belt supported by the chain. Both the roller chain and the additional steel belt are connected to a support structure for the central drum either directly or through the intermediary of tensioning devices.
