For the production of strip material particulate metalliferous material is fed from a hopper into and through the roll gap formed between a pair of contrarotating compaction rolls. The ends of the roll gap are closed off by means of endless belts which engage the opposite end faces of the compaction rolls and in order to counteract the tendency of particulate material to be drawn into the end zones of the roll gap by the endless belt means are provided for restricting the flow of particulate material to these end zones. By the provision of such restricting means the rate at which particulate material enters the roll gap is substantially uniform alone its entire length. |
