Abstract
A press apparatus is disclosed for removing water from a formed web. The apparatus includes first, second and third press members and corresponding backing rolls which cooperate with the respective press members for defining therebetween first, second and third press nips. A wet end support supports the first press member and the backing roll device. A dry end frame is disposed downstream relative to the wet end support for supporting the third press member. An intermediate anchoring arrangement is disposed between the support and the frame for supporting the second press member. A plurality of pivoted links removably extend between the wet end support, dry end frame and intermediate anchoring arrangement such that in an operative mode, the support, frame and anchoring arrangement are rigidly connected together for stabilizing the press apparatus and when the press apparatus is in an inoperative mode, the links are released from and pivoted relative to the press apparatus for facilitating the removal of the press members and backing roll device from the press apparatus, and for facilitating felting of the press.
