Shoe presses are used in the production of many different grades of paper and board. They differ from conventional roll presses in that they offer a significantly longer nip width and dwell time. Shoe presses offer many different benefits, including higher dryness to the dryer section, improved bonding and sheet strength properties, and increased bulk. Understanding the design and operation of shoe presses will help with day-to-day operations and troubleshooting.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Describe the major difference between a shoe press and a conventional roll press
  • List the benefits of shoe presses
  • List the major components of a shoe press, including the stationary press beam, hydraulically-loaded shoe, sleeve or belt, roll heads and journals, and dedicated hydraulic system
  • Identify the functions of the major components

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What is the main advantage of a shoe press over roll press?
With the increased nip width, the dwell time (the amount of time that the sheet is exposed to the nip pressure) is up to 10 times longer

On which grades are shoe presses used?
Shoe presses were initially used on machines producing heavier weight grades, like board and corrugating medium. They are now used effectively in making printing, writing, and tissue, as well as container board and carton board, grades.

What are shoe press sleeves made out of?
Most shoe press sleeves are made from a woven substrate with a coating of polyurethane, which may be grooved, blind drilled, or smooth.

What are the functions of the hydraulic fluid in a typical shoe press?
The hydraulic fluid is used to pressurize the shoe loading pistons, provide lubrication for the shoe-to-sleeve interface, and provide cooling.

Does the entire shoe press rotate during press operation?
No. The roll journals, heads, and sleeve rotate around the stationary support beam and press shoe assembly.

Sample Video Transcript

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

A typical modern shoe press has the following major components: one, a stationary press beam, two, hydraulically loaded press shoe, three, sleeve or belt, four, roll heads and journals, and five, hydraulic system. The stationary press beam is a cross-machine structure on which the hydraulic loading pistons and press shoe are mounted. It must be designed to support the static loads as well as the offsetting hydraulic forces in the nip.

Customer Q&A

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 provided.

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. Available languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
