Abstract
The invention relates to a compression device for compressing a stratified material for producing panels, in particular for a floor, comprising two heated plates, gripping and transport elements, with which a 5 to 12 mm thick stratified material for producing floor panels is gripped and transported between the plates of the compression device. Said device also comprises displacement elements which convey the heated plates to the stratified material in order to compress the latter, whereby the position of the heated of the gripping elements is chosen in such a way that the gripping elements are located next to the press plates. The displacement elements are controlled in such a way that both heated plates reach the stratified material simultaneously and are withdrawn from said stratified material in the same manner. The device enables particularly wide, high-quality panels to be produced.
