A common roll press arrangement pairs a solid top roll with a grooved or blind-drilled bottom roll

A "crown" can be applied to one or both press rolls to compensate for the deflection that occurs when one roll is loaded against the other

As the roll rotates away from the nip, water is thrown out of the holes or grooves into a saveall pan

Roll presses are often used on paper and board machines to mechanically remove water from the sheet. They also consolidate and flatten the sheet, increase wet sheet strength, and improve final sheet strength characteristics. This module will give you a better understanding of roll presses and how they function in press sections of paper machines.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

Identify the purpose of a roll press on a paper or board machine
Describe the pressing phases in a roll press nip
Identify and describe roll cover materials used in roll presses
Describe a typical roll press arrangement
Describe the purpose of a roll crown
Describe swimming-type and shoe-type deflection- compensated rolls

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

Why is the sheet frequently separated from one or both felts soon after a press nip?
To minimize "rewetting," wherein the sheet reabsorbs some water from the felt or felts

Are press rolls usually solid rolls?
In a conventional roll press, the roll surfaces can be solid, blind-drilled, grooved, or blind-drilled and grooved.

What are the limitations of fixed crown rolls?
A "fixed crown" roll has a crown ground into the roll face, and it is only appropriate for a single nip loading. On machines where nip loadings vary because different grades are made, a variable crown roll may be a better choice.

Are controlled-crown rolls used in top or bottom roll positions?
Controlled-crown rolls can be used in both top and bottom roll press positions. In bottom positions, they typically have softer covers that are grooved or blind-drilled to enhance water removal.

How do controlled-crown rolls create the crown?
CC rolls use hydraulic pressure in a sealed chamber or applied to cross-machine cylinders to create the crown.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

The amount of water removed in a press nip depends on two main factors. The nip pressure and dwell time, or the time the sheet is exposed to the nip pressure. Water removal occurs in two phases. During the compression phase, pressure on the sheet and felts increases. Air is forced out of the sheet and felts and water is pressed out of the sheet and absorbed by the felts. During the expansion phase, pressure decreases. The felts continue to absorb water from the sheet. However, the sheet reabsorbs some water or rewets after the nip. To minimize rewetting, the sheet and felts should be separated as soon as possible after the nip.

Your Question

I would like to have several employees take multiple courses. How can I set that up?

We're in the process of making bulk course and multiple user purchases easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and contact us with details on who you'd like to assign courses to. We can set up each user's training plan and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

Can I get a free full-length preview of a course to see what this course covers?

While we do our best to offer details on course contents, we don't normally offer full-length previews. But please contact us with more details for a better understanding of what your organizaton needs and how we can help.

Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes. All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of each eLearning course.

How do I log in to take a course that I have already paid for?

You'll receive an email with login details moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course. Just click the login link and enter the user name and password provieded.

Do you have courses in different languages?

Yes. While all of our courses are originally produced in English, we develop many courses in a growing number of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai. Availabl languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
