Abstract
The press for pressing batches of articles dry, especially batches of laundry, has a pressure vessel (10) at the pressing station, the orifice of which can be closed by a counterplate (18), and a receiving vessel (4) for receiving the batch of articles at the filling station and for transporting it on a plate (2) into the pressing station under the pressure vessel. The object of the invention is to improve a press of this type, in such a way that the batch of articles is introduced into the pressure vessel in a reliable and faultless way. For this purpose, the pressure vessel is mounted at the pressing station so as to be stationary and at a distance above the plate, the receiving vessel has a height corresponding to the distance between the pressure vessel and the plate, the counterplate can be moved into the pressure vessel by means of the receiving vessel, and, when the counterplate is raised, the receiving vessel can be drawn back into the filling station from the pressing station.
