A roll press machine that presses-forming of a work is disclosed in which a plurality of electrode layers having been baked on a metal foil. The material is supplied as a work W into a gap between a lower roll and an upper roll for consolidating. As the work travels through the gap, a controlling device is configured to maintain the gap larger than a consolidating gap until the front edge of the work passes through the gap by a first predetermined distance, then maintain the gap equal to the consolidation gap until the rear edge of the work arrives downstream of the gap by a second predetermined distance, and maintain the gap larger than the consolidation gap until the rea edge leaves the gap.
