Specifically, an efficient lamination press can comprise one or more components and apparatus that can apply uniform fluid pressure across one or more platens.

To simplify the structure of the laminating press, the invention proposes that the heating unit (18) should be arranged between the roller core (20) and the friction layer (24).

The method of producing the sheet includes extruding the various layers and then bonding the layers together under a compressive force and an elevated temperature m a flat lamination press.

The base layers, the décor sheets and possibly the optional wear layer in then laminated together under heat and pressure in the laminate press.

The production is supported by the use of latest generation software, reverse engineering instruments, press, 2D and 3D laser, robot, bending machine, rolling press, and Dynamometer.

A number of such base layers with attached décor sheets are then, one after the other, fed in between the belts of a continuous laminate press, optionally together with an uppermost wear layer.

An efficient lamination presses can rapidly provide both heating and cooling, as well as pressure to resin sheets to create a laminate end-product.
