Abstract
Abstract In a dual belt press, the press belts are supported at each end by a first chain. The first chain includes spaced links through which a stud projects. A sleeve is mounted on each stud between the spaced links. The outer circumferences of adjacently disposed sleeves abut one another to prevent lateral displacement of the studs and rolls. A second chain is connected to the studs and is adapted to be driven in order to displace the rolls along a press zone of the press.
