Abstract
A device and method for washing a wire in a paper or board machine including a wash-nozzle pipe arranged at one side of the wire for spraying a jet of a washing liquid such as water at the wire. At an opposite side of the wire, a suction device applies suction to draw mist arising from the washing of the wire. Directly alongside the suction device, at the same side of the wire, there is a blow device, through which a gas such as air is blown onto the face of the wire and through the wire to dry the wire and remove additional water, dirt and/or other impurities not removed by the suction device.
