Abstract
The invention provides an outlet for a peat extrusion press, the outlet comprising a pair of jaws which in the closed position thereof co-operate to define a number of side-by-side extrusion pipes and in the open position define, in place of the pipes, an unrestricted outlet. If the extrusion pipes become clogged during operation, the jaws are opened to release whatever is causing the clogging, and are then closed.
