Abstract
The invention relates to a suction roll (10) comprising a turbulence suppression element (16) located in the vicinity of the end of an external suction pipe (15). The turbulence suppression element (16) comprises at least one sheet member and is fitted relative to the end of the suction pipe (15) in such a way that turbulence in the intake air during the suction phase is substantially prevented and that a low air pressure is thus maintained at a desired, approximately constant value on the inner surface of the roll shell along the entire roll width and the quantity of suction air is also maintained at a desired, approximately constant value through the perforated sections (14) of the roll shell.
