Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1088933A2] To extract water from a wet web (12), of paper or cardboard, it is passed through a water extraction zone (E) which is divided into a number of sections (E1-E3) in succession on the direction of web travel (L). Each section has an individually set gas pressure. For the extraction of water from a wet paper/cardboard web, the web is passed through the water extraction zone together with a membrane (16). Gas pressures (14) are applied to the membrane, to displace it against the web. The web is supported by a blanket (18) through the water extraction zone, on the opposite side of the web to the membrane.. The leading water extraction section has a lower gas pressure than in the following section. The final section has a low gas pressure, to maintain the relatively high web volume. An independent claim is included for an assembly to extract water from a wet paper/cardboard web, where the web is carried through a water extraction zone with sections of individually set gas pressures to bear against a membrane on one side of the web. A blanket moves through the zone with the web, at its under side.
