  • Viscosity of the sizing agent is 100 cP or over, preferably 100 cP - 2000 cP, more preferably 100 cP - 1500 cP and surface tension of the sizing agent is advantageously 50 mN/m
  • One of the hard sizing rolls 11;12 is a deflection compensated roll and thus a straight sizing nip is be formed.
  • the sizing rolls 11,12 are hard rolls.
  • the hard roll is used as the hard roll is used a ceramic or metallic roll or advantageously with a hard-polymeric roll cover (rubber, polyurethane or composite) having surface hardness 60 - 100 shoreD, advantageously 80 - 95 shoreD.

  • the surface temperature in the heat-treatment zone is 100 - 250 °C
  • the pressure in the heat-treatment zone is 0,1 MPa - 30 MPa, advantageously 0,1 - 5 MPa.
  • the dwell time of the fiber web in the heat-treatment zone Z is at least 20 ms, advantageously 100 - 10 000 ms.
  • the heat-treatment device 20 comprises a belt-loop 21 running and supported by guide rolls 25 and a roll 22 and the heat-treatment zone Z is formed between the run of the belt-loop 21 and the roll 22 on the run of the belt 21 on the roll 22.
  • the fiber web W is guided to run between the belt 21 and the roll 22.
  • a heat-treatment nip NZ is formed between the roll 22 and another roll 23 to further press the fiber web W in the heat-treatment zone.
  • the belt 21 is heated.
  • the heat-treatment device 20 comprises two belt-loops 21, 24 running and supported by guide rolls 25, 26 and the heat-treatment zone Z is formed between the runs of the belt-loops 21, 24.
  • the fiber web W is guided to run between the belts 21, 24.
  • In the heat-treatment zone Z at least one of the belts 21 is heated.
  • the heat-treatment device 20 comprises a belt-loop 21 running and supported by guide rolls 25 and a roll 22 and the heat-treatment zone Z is formed between the run of the belt-loop 21 and the roll 22 on the run of the belt 21 on the roll 22.
  • the fiber web W is guided to run between the belt 21 and the roll 22.
  • heat-treatment nips NZ are formed between the roll 22 and the guide rolls 25 to further press the fiber web W during its run in the heat-treatment zone.
  • the belt 21 is heated.
  • the heat-treatment device 20 comprises a belt-loop 21 running and supported by guide rolls 25 and a roll 22 and the heat-treatment zone Z is formed between the run of the belt-loop 21 and the roll 22 on the run of the belt 21 on the roll 22.
  • the fiber web W is guided to run between the belt 21 and the roll 22.
  • a heat-treatment nip NZ is formed between the roll 22 and the guide rolls 25 to further press the fiber web W during its run in the heat-treatment zone.
  • the belt 21 is heated.
  • the heat-treatment device 20 comprises a belt-loop 21 running and supported by guide rolls 25 and a roll 22 and the heat-treatment zone Z is formed between the run of the belt-loop 21 and the roll 22 on the run of the belt 21 on the roll 22.
  • the fiber web W is guided to run between the belt 21 and the roll 22.
  • the belt 21 is heated.
  • the heat-treatment device 20 comprises a belt-loop 21 running and supported by guide rolls 25 and a roll 22 and the heat-treatment zone Z is formed between the run of the belt-loop 21 and the roll 22 on the run of the belt 21 on the roll 22.
  • the fiber web W is guided to run between the belt 21 and the roll 22.
