Abstract
A continuously operating press for the production of panels, such as chipboards, fiberboards, and the like, and including two cooperating endless plate belts arranged so that the material forming the panels can be conveyed by and be compressed between the belts is also provided with drivable pressure rollers for driving the endless plate belts which are adapted to be moved to an oblique angle with respect to the path of travel of the belts. By moving the drive rollers to an oblique position, lateral displacement of the flexible endless belts surrounding the endless plate belts can be prevented.

A continuously operating press for the production of panels, such as chipboards, fiberboards, and the like, including cooperating endless plate belts comprising mutually linked-together plates, said cooperating endless plate belts rotating about axes arranged substantially horizontally and substantially in parallel with each other so that said endless plate belts are in facing relationship and movable in the same direction over a material pressing portion of the travel paths of said plate belts, drivable presure rollers for driving said endless plate belts, said drivable pressure rollers arranged in at least one superposed pair, endless bands surrounding and movable with each endless plate belt, and adjusting means for moving one axial end of each pressure roll of at least one superposed pair of pressure rollers in a substantially horizontal plane so that the projection of the axis of the pressure roller being moved on the material pressing portion of the path of travel of at least one of said belts defines an oblique angle with respect to said direction.
A press for continuously producing boards, such as chipboards, fiberboards, and the like, said press comprising:
- a first movable belt;
- a second movable belt;
- guiding and moving means for guiding and moving said first and second movable belts with respective outer surfaces of said belts in facing relationship and moving in the same direction over a material pressing portion of the respective travel paths of said belts such that material forming said boards can be conveyed by and compressed between said belts along said material pressing portion of said respective travel paths;
- pressure applying and driving means for driving said movable belts and for pressing said belts toward one another along said material pressing portion of the respective travel paths of said belts such that material for forming said boards may be forcibly compressed between said belts, said pressure applying and driving means including at least one pair of pressure rollers, one pressure roller in each pair being arranged inside the travel path of said first movable belt and the other pressure roller in said pair being arranged inside the travel path of said second movable belt;
- and
- adjusting means for orienting at least one pressure roller such that the projection of the axis of the moved pressure roller on the material pressing portion of at least one of said travel paths defines an oblique angle with respect to said direction, whereby lateral displacement of said movable belts is controlled.
A press for continuously producing boards, such as chipboards, fiberboards, and the like, said press comprising:
- a first endless plate belt formed of a plurality of hingedly interconnected plates;
- a second endless plate belt formed of a plurality of hingedly interconnected plates;
- guiding and moving means for guiding and moving said first and second plate belts with respective outer surfaces of said plate belts in facing relationship and moving in the same direction over a material pressing portion of the respective travel paths of said plate belts such that the material for forming said boards can be conveyed by and compressed between said plate belts along said material pressing portion of said respective travel paths;
- pressure applying means for pressing said endless plate belts toward one another along said material pressing portion of the respective travel paths of said endless plate belts such that board material may be forcibly pressed between said endless belts, said pressure applying means including a plurality of pressure rollers arranged inside of the travel path of at least one of said plate belts and forcing means for forcing said pressure rollers against the plates of said at least one endless plate belt;
- drive means for rotably driving at least one of said pressure rollers such that said at least one of said pressure rollers applies moving forces to said plates to move said at least one of said endless plate belts along its respective travel path;
- and
- adjusting means for moving one axial end of each pressure roller in the plane substantially parallel to the material pressing portion of at least one of said travel paths so that the pressure roller moved is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to said direction.
A press for continuously producing boards, such as chipboards, fiberboards, and the like, said press comprising:
- a first movable belt;
- a second movable belt;
- guiding and moving means for guiding and moving said first and second movable belts with respective outer surfaces of said belts in facing relationship and moving in the same direction over a material pressing portion of the respective travel paths of said belts such that material forming said boards can be conveyed by and compressed between said belts along said material pressing portion of said respective travel paths;
- pressure applying and driving means for driving said movable belts and for pressing said belts toward one another along said material pressing portion of the respective travel paths of said belts such that material for forming said boards may be forcibly compressed between said belts, said pressure applying and driving means including at least one pair of pressure rollers, one pressure roller in each pair being arranged inside the travel path of said first movable belt and the other pressure roll in said pair being arranged inside the travel path of said second movable belt;
- and
- adjusting means for pivoting at least one pressure roller about one of its axial ends in a plane substantially parallel to the material pressing portion of at least one of said travel paths, whereby lateral displacement of said movable belts is controlled.
