Abstract
A continuously operating press utilizing facing endless belts for compressing chip material into chipboards, fibreboards and the like. Each of the belts is constructed as an endless belt formed of a plurality of heatable planar chain links. For conveying and directly engaging the chip material, corresponding endless steel bands envelope the chain belts. Gas flame burners are arranged in casings for directly heating a portion of the chain run at a position spaced from the engagement with the chip material. Each of the casings also include burner exhaust gas conducting channels for conducting the hot exhaust gases adjacent portions of the chain which are not impinged upon by the flame at a particular given time. Also, conduit means for the flame burner exhaust gases are provided for conducting the exhaust gases to heat the endless steel bands by way of Z-shaped channeled housings arranged at a position spaced from the casings for the flame burners and immediately adjacent the steel bands.
