  • Description: Pressing and drying developments in the past 12 months have been fast and furious in the paper world. Research work underway also suggests that this situation will continue for the foreseeable future. In papermaking history, the year 2000 will more than likely be remembered for the startup and optimization of several new large-scale graphic paper machines in Europe - and more specifically in Germany. Boasting the latest gadgets in papermaking technology, most of the large new PMs are equipped with a shoe press or a double shoe press in some cases. As a result, this technology will once again be taking up a major part of the pressing and drying review, as the industry takes a closer look at how the design is having an impact on various paper grades, not just the new graphic paper machines. A new graphic paper machine design without a shoe press would be highly unlikely to make it off the drawing board these days, especially if the machine in question is a high speed, high capacity unit.
