How does wet pressing affect sheet properties?Pressing increases density, surface smoothness, and dry and wet strength properties. Bulk, caliper, and stiffness typically decrease.
What are the phases of water removal in presses?Water removal can be divided into compression and expansion phases.
What is the purpose of the wet felt?Wet felts act as a transfer device or belt to move the wet sheet without damage, absorb water from sheet, and maintain an even, smooth surface for the wet sheet.
What types of rolls are used for pressing?Wet pressing can be accomplished by using solid rolls, variable crown rolls, suction rolls, and shoe presses.
