Estimating the term…
A double belt press having a first, lower circulating plastic belt and a second, upper circulating plastic belt. The plastic belts have a first, low flexural strength, and a product gap is formed between facing strands of the plastic belts for forming a plate-like product. A first circulating lower steel belt and a second circulating upper steel belt are provided and have a second flexural strength which is high in comparison to the flexural strength of the plastic belts. A forming section is formed between the facing strands of the steel belts, which forms part of the product gap. The first, lower steel belt runs parallel and bears against a rear face of the first plastic belt in the forming section during operation, and the second upper steel belt runs parallel and bears against a rear face of the second plastic belt in the forming section during operation.
A double belt press with a first, lower revolving plastic belt and with a second, upper revolving plastic belt, the first and second plastic belts having a first, low flexural rigidity, a product gap formed between mutually confronting and opposed strands of the first and second plastic belts for the purpose of shaping a plate-like product, a first revolving lower steel belt and a second revolving upper steel belt, the first and second steel belts having a second flexural rigidity which is high in relation to the flexural rigidity of the first and second plastic belts, a shaping portion formed between mutually confronting and opposed strands of the first and second steel belts, the shaping portion forming part of the product gap, wherein during operation the first, lower steel belt runs in the shaping portion parallel to and so as to bear against a rear side, facing away from the product gap, of the first, lower plastic belt, and during operation the second, upper steel belt runs in the shaping portion parallel to and so as to bear against a rear side, facing away from the product gap, of the second, upper plastic belt, the double belt press further including a first heating device disposed adjacent the rear side of the second, upper plastic belt and spaced upstream, with respect to a direction of travel of the opposed strands of the first and second plastic belts, of the shaping portion to heat the second, upper plastic belt and/or a first cooling device disposed adjacent the rear side of the second, upper plastic belt and spaced downstream, with respect to the direction of travel of the opposed strands of the first and second plastic belts, of the shaping portion to cool the second, upper plastic belt, and a second heating device disposed adjacent the rear side of the first, lower plastic belt and spaced upstream, with respect to the direction of travel of the opposed strands of the first and second plastic belts, of the shaping portion to heat the first, lower plastic belt and/or a second cooling device disposed adjacent the rear side of the first, lower plastic belt and spaced downstream, with respect to the direction of travel of the opposed strands of the first and second plastic belts, of the shaping portion to cool the first, lower plastic belt.
A double belt press comprising:
