Abstract
A shoe press comprises a shoe support device mounted downstream of the press shoe of the shoe press to carry forces acting on the press shoe and having a first support element that has a support surface facing the press shoe and is fixedly connected to a stationary stand of the shoe press, and a second support element in the form of at least one rolling body arranged in a space between the support surface of the first support element and an opposite support surface of the press shoe to be in contact with the two support surfaces during operation. The rolling body is arranged to roll along the two support surfaces when the press shoe is moved relative to a second support element in the shoe press, while rotating about an axis of rotation that moves in relation to and in the same direction as the press shoe.
