An improved two-tier, single-felted dryer section has an upper tier of spaced apart dryer drums and a lower tier of spaced apart dryer drums. The section includes at least one dryer drum group consisting of a first and second adjacent drum in one tier, a third drum in the other tier located between the adjacent first and second drums, and two reversing rolls positioned one on each of the opposite sides of the third drum. A felt-supported paper web follows a serpentine path about the dryer drums and reversing rolls. As a result, the felt-supported web passes through the dryer drum group with the web in direct contact with each of the three dryer drums in the dryer drum group.

A blade mounting frame is attached to a support structure having an endless forming wire rotatably mounted thereon. At least one turn shoe is mounted to the support structure for guiding the rotating path of the forming wire. A blade assembly attached to the blade mounting frame includes a blade in contact with the wire for removing debris from the forming wire before the debris is caught at a nip between the rotating wire and the turn shoes.
