De-watering assembly for paper, tissue or carton manufacturing press has rising drain gap to deflector blade and drainage channel

摘要

A paper web (1) de-watering press has two adjacent drums (3, 4) which are separated by a gap with a joint feed of paper (1) and a dewatering belt (2). The upper gap between the two drums has a gusset shaped gutter (5) which is fed by water raised (6) by the upper drum (3) and dropped into the gutter by a deflector blade (7). The deflector blade is on contact with the upper drum and operates as a water skimming blade against the drum (3) mantle (13).
