Abstract (en)

There is described a method for controlling curl of a fibrous web in a drying section of a machine for manufacturing the web. The method steps are drying the bottom side of said web by way of contact drying and thereafter drying the top side the web in a press drying step in which the web is pressed against a heated surface and is dried. The pressure on the web in the press drying step is higher than in contact drying. At least one press drying step is the final drying step. A suitable dryer apparatus has a bottom side contact drying arrangement where a permeable surface holds the web in contact with heated drying surfaces. A top side drying arrangement downstream of the bottom side drying arrangement, has an impermeable belt pressing the web against an impermeable support cylinder.
