Abstract
Apparatus and method for laterally sealing a drainage gap of a twin-wire paper machine. This lateral sealing has contact only with the lower wire. Between the upper wire and the lateral sealing, sealing is preferably effected by sealing water. Since this lateral sealing is elastic, it can adapt itself to the movements of the lower wire.
