Claim 0:
1. A moisture removing press for extracting moisture from wood material,
the moisture removing press comprising:
a continuous and liquid permeable sheet metal band including viaways allowing liquid to permeate therethrough;
a first pressing roller located above the sheet metal band;
a first anvil roller located below the sheet metal band and forming a first nip with the first pressing roller and the sheet metal band, the sheet metal band being located between the first pressing roller and the first anvil roller, such that the first nip includes only the first pressing roller and the sheet metal band; and
a conveyor roller configured to convey the continuous sheet metal band between the first pressing roller and the first anvil roller at (i) a speed selectable within a range and (ii) at an angle with respect to a horizontal plane,
wherein the continuous sheet metal band conveys the wood material through the first nip, such that the first pressing roller is in direct contact with the wood material as it passes through the first nip,
wherein pressure created by the first pressing roller and the first anvil roller extracts a portion of the moisture away from the wood material, and
wherein at least a portion of the extracted portion of the moisture permeates through the viaways of the sheet metal band, as a liquid, without using a suction device, a blowing device and a scraping device.
