Double-felted press
Abstract
Abstract A double-felted press for a papermaking machine or the like comprises a pair of press rolls arranged to form a nip and an endless press felt trained around a segment of each of the rolls, the press felts passing through the nip. One of the rolls is a suction roll, and the suction zone is located entirely on the downstream side of the roll, relative to the direction of rotation of the roll, from the nip, is contiguous or in proximate relation to the nip, and is within the segment of the roll over which the felt for that roll is trained. A guide roll for the felt associated with the other press roll (the nonsection-roll is normally positioned such that the felt is separated from the web being pressed before the web reaches the suction zone of the suction roll but is arranged to be moved to a position training that felt around the suction zone of the suction roll so that the two felts turn around the suction zone of the suction roll and ensure that the web runs with the suction-roll felt. Normally, the two felts are trained to run together over the suction zone of the suction roll only upon startup of the machine.
