Abstract:
1. A sealing arrangement for end faces of sheet-like elements of a pasta dryer, the end faces of which are arranged to form a separating gap and wherein through bores extending parallel to the separating gap are arranged in the sheet-like elements on both sides of the separating gap, the arrangement comprising: two planar sealing means for placement on inner and outer longitudinal sides of the separating gap of the sheet-like elements, wherein one planar sealing means is configured in the form of a crosshead with a planar supporting surface and the other planar sealing means is configured in the form of a planar sealing element and two flexible elements, the flexible elements being provided between a wall of the connected, sheet-like elements and the planar sealing element on both sides of the separation gap, wherein the planar sealing element has L-shaped outer regions receiving the flexible elements, and the planar sealing means have bores placed at locations determined by the bores of the sheet-like elements; a further crosshead arranged at the planar sealing element; and means for clamping the longitudinal sides in between planar sealing means to form a sealing termination of the separating gap, said means for clamping comprising screw connections extending through the bores of the sheet-like elements on both sides of the separating gap.
