Abstract
A press for exerting a pressure over an area in a longitudinal section of a sheet, particularly a press for producing wood chip board and similar materials, having two opposed pressure plates between which the sheet is passed, and which are braced against respective support structures provided on the outside, wherein the pressure is transmitted by a pressure medium to at least one pressure plate from the support structure associated with it through several pressure elements arranged at points lined up across the sheet in such a manner that a variable pressure profile across the sheet results.
