NOVELTY - The laminating apparatus has a pallet (1) with aluminum laminating plates (2-7), at least two of the plates adapted to hold a multilayer article for lamination. The multilayer articles undergo the complete lamination process while on their respective laminating plates. Each laminating plate has a silicon rubber flexible heater, and the plates are overlapped so that each multilayer article is capable of being heated on the bottom surface by the heater of the plate by which it is held and on its top surface by the heater of the neighboring plate above.    USE - Laminating apparatus for multilayer articles e.g. photovoltaic modules.    ADVANTAGE - Ensures relatively even heating of the top and bottom surfaces of photovoltaic modules in the lamination apparatus, reducing or preventing warping, and also ensuring that thermal shock and/or stresses induced by different rates of heating are minimized. Compact and more efficient in terms of usage of space and energy since each of the laminating plates can function both as the holding and the bottom heaters for the articles to be laminated as well as heating units for the top surface of the neighboring multilayer article below. Easily tailors the number of laminating plates to the specific needs, thus increasing flexibility and in particular enables an increase or reduction to the production capacity of a particular lamination installation in the design phase. Negates the need for conveying devices to convey the articles because the design of the apparatus is based on a pallet with multiple laminating plates, thus the multilayer articles remain on their respective laminating plates throughout the laminating process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a laminating plate; and    (2) a process for lamination of two or more multilayer articles.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows the front view of a laminating pallet.    Pallet (1)    Aluminum laminating plates (2-7)
