BlackBelt

22. Shoe Press…?
For Pulp Drying, Board, Paper and Tissue machines - SymBelt
Ÿ Press shoe is stationary, shoe
press belt and counter roll rotate
Ÿ Oil film lubricates between Press
shoe and rotating belt
Ÿ Shoe press gives around 4%
more dryness after the press
section… which is corresponding
around 16% more production, or
16% less energy consumption for
drying
