Device and method for draining a web in a paper production machine. The device may include a press section having at least one press nip for draining and smoothing the web. The at least one press nip may be arranged to smooth one surface of the web more than its opposite surface and the device may also include a roughening device that roughens the one surface of the web. The method may include guiding the web through a press section of the paper production machine to drain and smooth the web in which the press section include at least one nip, smoothing one surface of the web more than its opposite surface in the at least one nip, and roughening the one surface.

Suction forming roll n double screen method and machine for the manufacture of a fibrous material web

A wet section of a machine for producing a fibrous material web that includes at least one press. The press includes a nip through which the fibrous material web is guided. The fibrous material web is preformed in a web forming zone. At least one press is an elongated nip press that is elongated in direction of the web travel. This nip is positioned in a region where the dry matter content of the preformed fibrous material web that comes into the nip is less than or equal to about 15% and, preferably is less than or equal to about 12%. A method for treating a fibrous material web in a wet section of a machine for producing the fibrous material web. The wet section includes at least one press including an elongated nip, at least one press and the elongated nip are elongated in a web travel direction. Further, the elongated nip is positioned in a region of the machine where the dry matter content of the fibrous material web, as it enters the elongated nip, is less than or equal to about 15%. The method includes preforming the fibrous material web in a forming section of the machine, guiding the fibrous material web to the at least one elongated nip, and pressing the fibrous material web in the at least one elongated nip elongated nip.

Wet press and method for treating a fibrous material web

Press section of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous pulp web. The press section may include a press roll, at least one flexible circulating press belt, at least one press shoe, and at least one extended press nip formed to extend in a web run direction by the press shoe pressing the flexible circulating press belt against the press roll. The press section further includes one of a felt or screen belt that may be guided through the at least one extended nip, and the press roll may be substantially centrally located within the press section and may have a diameter greater than a diameter of the at least one flexible circulating press belt. The center press roll has two press shoes positioned opposite it; the two press shoes are offset with respect to one another such that the direction of force exerted by each extends through the center press roll axis and defines an acute angle, with support elements within the center press roll positioned opposite the press shoes.

Press section

The present invention is directed to a device for removing at least one of paper sheet remnants and a paper sheet from a belt. The device may include a blow device including at least one blow opening extending lateral to a travel direction of the belt and a compressor coupled to the blow device to supply compressed air to the at least one blow opening. The at least one blow opening may be directed toward the at least one of the paper sheet remnants and the paper sheet to be removed.

Process and device for the removal of paper sheet remnants from a belt

A wire part of a machine for the production of continuous fibrous material webs, especially a papermaking machine, includes two continuous wire belts which together form a twin-wire zone. At least one supporting element having a supporting surface is disposed in the region of the twin-wire zone. At least a part of the supporting surface provides a supporting region which supports a first wire belt on its inner surface and a second wire belt on its outer surface. At least one formation box is provided and is disposed in the supporting region. The formation box is designed in such a way that, in the region of the inner surface of the second wire belt in the formation box, pressure values can be adjusted from a reduced pressure to an excess pressure acting on the inner surface of the second wire belt. The formation box extends in the direction of movement of the wire part over at least a part of the supporting region.

Wire part of a machine for the manufacture of fibrous material webs

The wire end or forming section of a paper making machine is a twin wire section defined by two endless loop wire belts or wires between which fibrous suspension moves through the wire end. A supporting element, either in the form of a rotating cylinder or in the form of a support belt, has the wires passing over it in the twin wire zone. Pressure elements, in the form of strips, rods or even a shoe, are supported to apply pressure on the wire belts and directed toward the moving supporting surface. The pressure elements are placed along the twin wire path so that pressure free regions remain between neighboring pressure elements. The pressure elements are distributed over the entire width of the wire belts.
