  • Non-stick laminating endless belt press
    Patent number: 5555799
    Abstract: A laminating press for wood products includes at least one pair of heated drums rotating on parallel axes and an endless belt running around the drums, and a device for pressing a stack of materials to be laminated against the belt between the drums, wherein the belt consists essentially of a zirconium or titanium alloy having a thermal diffusivity of at least 0.08 cm.sup.2 /sec and Young's modulus below 20 million psi. Unplated, the belt material provides a non-stick surface with respect to melamine, and because it is unplated, the belt can be resurfaced when worn. Alternatively, the above materials are used in constructing plates for a platen-type laminating press.
