Claims
- 1. Device for dewatering a pulp web with a dewatering section comprising a top wire and a bottom wire defining longitudinally spaced upstream and downstream ends and a wedge-shaped dewatering zone, a first pair of press rolls mounted at the downstream end of the bottom wire, and means for adjusting the wedge shape of the dewatering zone at the downstream end, the first pair of press rolls defining a first shoe press unit including first top and bottom press rolls, the first top press roll being a first shoe press roll and the first bottom press roll including oppositely disposed face ends, an outer shell defining a plurality of holes, and an inner roll shell defining a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves.
- 2. Device according to claim 1, further comprising a first felt carried on the first shoe press roll.
- 3. Device according to claim 1, further comprising at least a second pair of press rolls disposed downstream of the wedge-shaped dewatering zone and upstream of the first pair of press rolls.
- 4. Device according to claim 3, wherein each of the press rolls of the second pair of press rolls has a smooth surface.
- 5. Device according to claim 3, wherein each of the press rolls of the second pair of press rolls has a grooved surface.
- 6. Device according to claim 1, further comprising a web heating device disposed upstream of the first shoe press roll.
- 7. Device according to claim 1, further comprising a suction roll and a second shoe press unit disposed downstream of the first shoe press unit, wherein the suction roll supportedly transfers the pulp web from the bottom wire to the second shoe press unit.
- 8. Device according to claim 7, further comprising second and third felts, the second shoe press unit including a second shoe press roll and a deflection compensation roll, the second felt being carried on the second shoe press roll and the third felt being carried on the deflection compensation roll.
- 9. Device according to claim 1, wherein the entire device is cantileverable.
- 10. Device according to claim 1, wherein the wedge-shaped dewatering zone is pressure-loaded at the downstream end.
- 11. Device for dewatering a pulp web with a dewatering section comprising a top wire and a bottom wire defining longitudinally spaced upstream and downstream ends and a wedge-shaped dewatering zone, a first pair of press rolls mounted at the downstream end of the bottom wire, and means for pressure loading the dewatering zone at the downstream end, the first pair of press rolls defining a first shoe press unit including first top and bottom press rolls, the first top press roll being a first shoe press roll and the first bottom press roll including oppositely disposed face ends, an outer shell defining a plurality of holes, and an inner roll shell defining a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves.
