Lamella block with offset lamellae

A lamella block for a calibrating device for calibrating an extruded profile, wherein the lamella block comprises:

• a carrier structure having opposite first and second walls extending along a longitudinal direction of the lamella block, said first and second walls residing on first and second imaginary planes, respectively;
• and
• a lamella structure having a plurality of lamellae all extending outwards from the carrier structure and being spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction by grooves, wherein the plurality of lamellae comprises first and second lamella sets, wherein lamellae of the first lamella set are arranged offset relative to lamellae of the second lamella set in the longitudinal direction of the lamella block,
• wherein each lamellae of the first lamella set extends beyond the first imaginary plane in a direction normal thereto, and does not extend beyond the second imaginary plane in a direction normal thereto, and
• wherein each lamellae of the second lamella set extends beyond the second imaginary plane in said direction normal thereto, and does not extend beyond the first imaginary plane in said direction normal thereto.
