Abstract:
1. Apparatus for compacting a continuous web of flexible material impregnated with a resin or coupled with one or more adhesive films, the apparatus comprising at least one pair of superimposed plates having facing surfaces, said facing surfaces defining at least one compaction space therebetween for compacting the web in presence of a release agent, thrust means adapted to actuate closure of the at least one pair of superimposed plates, at least one unwinding reel and at least one winding reel adapted to allow a controlled advancement of the continuous web along said at least one unwinding reel and at least one winding reel, wherein the at least one unwinding reel and the at least one winding reel are further adapted to allow closure of the at least one pair of superimposed plates for compacting the continuous web, and winding and unwinding spools positioned upstream and downstream of the compaction space to move the release agent through the compaction space independently from the web and preventing the web from touching and adhering to at least one of the pair of superimposed plates during compaction.
