Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for pressing a paper web, in which the paper web is guided through a nip formed between a moving ele- ment forming a flexible, endless structure and a counter roll, of which the moving element is a flexible shell or a belt loop, wherein the moving element is supported in the area of the nip against another roll from inside the roll with a shoe element.

  • the hard-faced roll is a metal roll, which is a heated roll functioning as a thermoroll that brings heat to the web in the calendering.
  • the shell of the soft roll is loaded from inside the roll against the hard roll by a loading shoe, and as a result of this, the paper web travelling along the surface of the hard roll is pressed at a given pressure between the surfaces of the soft shell and the hard roll over a long distance in the nip.
  • the elastic shell can be compressed in its thickness direction in the area of the nip.
