Abstract: A high-pressure roller press has a press frame and two main rollers rotatable about respective main-roller axes in the press frame, together forming a filling funnel level with the main-roller axes, and having a gap width that is variable during operation of the roller press. Respective end plates axially flank and delimit the filling funnel between axially outwardly directed end faces of the main rollers. Respective end rollers are movable axially inward toward the end plates with each end roller laterally adjacent the main rollers vertically level with the roller gap, rotatably mounted about its end-roller axis, and laterally delimiting the roller gap, the end rollers being movable relative to the respective end plates. The end plates can each be urged by biasing forces axially toward of the respective main-roller end faces, whereas they are axially outward against the biasing forces during operation of the roller press.

Abstract: A high-pressure roller press has a press frame, fixed and movable compression rollers rotatable about respective roller axes in the press frame, each having axially opposite roller ends in turn having end faces, and together forming a compaction zone with a roller gap vertically level with the roller axes and having a gap width that is variable during operation of the roller press. Two end plates axially flank the compaction zone at the roller ends, are mounted on the press frame so as to be movable, and are prestressed to shift axially outward away from the respective roller end faces against a prestress force during operation of the roller press. Respective single end rollers rotatable about respective end-roller axes axially delimit the roller gap and are mounted on the end plates vertically level with the roller gap.

Abstract: Foil sheets are removed from two stacks located one above the other on a stack rack by a swingable transfer assembly having a transfer platform along the sides of which guide rails carry a suction beam which, as the transfer assembly is swung up and down, can engage the uppermost foil sheet on one or the other stack. The suction beam draws the foil sheets onto the transfer platform where the foil sheet is oriented or aligned and from which the foil sheet is drawn onto a deposition station which can have belts carrying the laminate or in a direction orthogonal to the destacking transfer direction.
