Abstract: A laminating station comprises a chill roll (8), a press roll (4) parallel to the chill roll (8), a back-up roll (10) for biasing the press roll (4) towards the chill roll (8), an extrusion arrangement which serves to deposit a layer entering a nip between the rolls (4) and (8), a belt-guiding arrangement (14,16) extending parallelly to the roll (4), leftmost and rightmost endless belts (12) extending over the roll (4) and the belt guiding arrangement (14,16) and through the nip, and, between the leftmost and rightmost endless belts (12), intermediate endless belts (24) extending over the roll (4) and the belt guiding arrangement (14,16) and through the nip. The belts (12) serve to deter contact, with the press roll (4), of the layer being deposited. The belts (14) and (16) have that function and/or the function of pressing an outer tie layer of the laminate being produced into holes through a core layer of the laminate and so into contact with an outermost layer of the laminate.
