A method and press for pressing material (11) by way of feeding the material into a gap formed between two pressing surfaces (1, 2; 1', 2'), in which gap the cross section of the material flow is tapered in the forward transfer direction of the material. The material is pressed between pressing surfaces formed by parallel, beam-shaped transfer elements (1, 2; 1', 2') which are reciprocatingly moved in the direction of material flow in two alternating groups so that the mutually opposed transfer elements (1, 1' and 2, 2') of both pressing surfaces are moved in a mutually synchronized manner in the same direction. During the forward transfer motion the pressing force exerted by the transfer elements on the material (11) is greater than the pressing force exerted during the return motion of the transfer elements. |
