Abstract
A continuously operating double belt press is provided in which the belts are formed from a plurality of articulated plates, which are in turn surrounded by endless steel bands which are pressed by low-pressure rollers and the plates against the material being compressed. Downstream of the plate belts, within the interior space surrounded by the pressing bands, respective large high-pressure rollers are disposed in facing relationship to one another. In order to improve the distribution and transfer of forces in the high-pressure zone adjacent the high-pressure rollers, a high-pressure endless belt is provided which surrounds the respective high-pressure rollers and runs between the high-pressure rollers and the pressing band. In preferred embodiments, reversing rollers are provided for the high-pressure endless belt, which reversing rollers serve to additionally press the high-pressure endless belt against the pressing band at a position spaced from the high-pressure rollers. Reversing rollers for this high-pressure endless belt are also provided spaced from the pressing band, and which serve to prevent sideways slippage of the high-pressure endless belt.
