Abstract
The press section of a papermaking machine has two conventional presses followed by two or three presses including one heated Extended Nip press thereby allowing control of the two-sidedness of the web by balancing the temperature and pressure of the Extended Nip Press with the pressure and temperature of the additional presses to form a one-sided sheet. The use of smooth high temperature press felts can aid in the reduction of two-sidedness of the formed web. The dryer section may alternatively add a fifth press utilizing the first dryer roll as the backing roll, two Extended Nip presses, a heated Extended Nip press followed by a heated conventional press, or a heated Extended Nip press in the third pressing position followed by a conventional heated press utilizing the first dryer as the backing roll.
