ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention concerns a process as well as an apparatus, such as a press, for the mechanical dewatering of peat to a predetermined degree of humidity, for example about 70%. For this purpose, there is carried out a progressive compression of peat on a certain distance by continuously bringing closer pressure elements and elements loaded with humid peat. A series of pressure blocks whose forward movement is dependent on the forward movement of a series of molds is adapted to increasingly penetrate in the molds, thereby increasing gradually the pressure within the peat. In a second step, the penetration of the pressure blocks in the molds is maintained substantially constant for a certain distance, after which the pressure is released as a result of a progressive decrease of the penetration of the pressure blocks in the molds until contact between the latter ceases, which provides for a decompression of the peat. In this manner, it is possible to obtain a partially dewatered peat in which the degree of humidity is homogeneous and substantially constant, such as about 70%.
