System for manufacturing stack of which manufacture involves pressing/clamping and curing

A method for manufacturing mats, comprising:

• pressing and clamping a stack of uncured mats with a press machine;
• transferring said stack of uncured mats from an exit of said press machine to an entrance of a curing chamber by a first transfer device;
• curing said stack of uncured mats in said curing chamber yielding a cured stack of mats;
• transferring said cured stack of mats from an exit of said curing chamber to a waiting station by said first transfer device;
• transferring said cured stack from said waiting station to said press machine by a second transfer device;
• and
• repressing and unclamping said cured stack of mats with said press machine.

An apparatus for manufacturing a stack of mats, the manufacture of which involves pressing, clamping and curing a stack of uncured mats, said apparatus comprising:

• a press machine for pressing and clamping a stack of uncured mats and for repressing and unclamping a stack of cured mats;
• a curing chamber for curing the pressed and clamped stack;
• a first transfer device connecting said press machine and said curing chamber, said first transfer device transferring the pressed and clamped stack from the press machine to the curing chamber;
• a second transfer device connecting said press machine and said curing chamber, said second transfer device transferring a cured stack from the curing chamber to said press machine.

An apparatus for manufacturing a stack of mats, including pressing, clamping and curing thereof, said apparatus comprising:

• a press machine for pressing and clamping a stack of uncured mats and for repressing and unclamping a stack of cured mats;
• a curing chamber for curing the pressed and clamped stack;
• a waiting station located between said press machine and said curing chamber,
• a first transfer device connecting said press machine, said waiting station and said curing chamber, said first transfer device transferring the pressed and pressed and clamped stack from an exit of said press machine to an entrance of said curing chamber and transferring a cured stack from an exit of said curing chamber to said waiting station;
• and
• a second transfer device connecting said waiting station and said press machine, said second transfer device transferring a cured stack placed in said waiting station to an entrance of said press machine.
