Abstract
The invention is directed to a pressing equipment for manufacturing a floor element, wherein the pressing equipment comprises a press configured to press an upper decorative layer of the floor element upon a lower support layer of the floor element, a positioning device configured to place the floor element in a pressing position at the press, and a centering device configured to adjust the mutual position of the upper decorative layer of the floor element and of the lower support layer of the floor element.
Claims13
A pressing equipment for manufacturing a floor element comprising:
- a pressing device configured to press an upper decorative layer of the floor element upon a lower support layer of the floor element;
- a positioning device configured to move in order to place one of the lower support layer and the upper decorative layer in a pressing position on the pressing device, the positioning device comprising a first couple of contact surfaces adapted to contact a first set of opposite edges of the one of the lower support layer and the upper decorative layer and a second couple of contact surfaces adapted to contact a second set of opposite edges of the one of the lower support layer and the upper decorative layer, the first couple of contact surfaces and the second couple of contact surfaces being orthogonal to each other;
- and
- a centering device configured to adjust the position of the other of the upper decorative layer and the lower support layer and to be independently moveable relative to the movement of the positioning device, the centering device comprising at least a first couple of abutment surfaces adapted to contact opposite edges of the other of the upper decorative layer and the lower support layer.
