Abstract
In order to render a twin wire former for a paper machine more applicable to an appropriate dewatering pressure state with respect to widely used paper formation conditions, there is provided a dewatering device including a plurality of dewatering blades that face a gap for paper formation through the wires constituting closed loops. The dewatering blades comprise a pressure adjustment unit for operating the dewatering blades in a direction close to or away from a wire and an angle adjustment unit for swinging the dewatering blades in a wire running direction, which are operationally associated with each other. The angle formed between an active plane of the dewatering blades and the wires is externally adjustable by the angle adjustment unit.
