Abstract
A pressing apparatus for continuous pressing of panels, which apparatus consists of two pressure chambers juxtaposed with a vertical clearance. Each of the chambers occupying a platen in a sealed sliding contact to the vertical inner side walls of the chamber. The mutual distance of the platens define the clearance. A transport band is in sliding contact to the platen of each chamber. The chambers are pressurized. The platen edges in contact with the band are provided with a seal having a protrusion directed towards the middle area of the platen, and means are provided to exert and maintain a pressure in the volume defined by the platen, the band and the seal.
