The invention relates to manufacturing low weight high quality paper suitable for use as a support layer of a release liner. A paper web is formed from pulp slurry, the moisture content of the paper web is reduced by a press section (PSEC), the paper web is supported by a belt (BELT1) from a first contact point (CP1) in the press section (PSEC) to a first separation point (SP1) in a drying section (DSEC), and the paper web is dried to form paper. The temperature profile of the paper web may be non-decreasing. When supported, the temperature of the paper web of the paper web may be higher than or equal to 56 C. to obtain a paper web having a dry content of at least 40 wt.-% at the first separation point.

A segmental calendering device includes a framework, a pair of left-rolling sliding guide mechanism, a pair of right-rolling sliding guide mechanisms, an upper-calendering roller and a supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller, a lower-calendering roller as well as a pressing mechanism. The upper-calendering roller is rotatably supported within the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller and disposed above a position between a left wallboard and a right wallboard of the framework, and the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller slides along the pair of left-rolling sliding guide mechanisms and the pair of right-rolling sliding guide mechanisms. The lower-calendering roller is disposed below the upper-calendering roller correspondingly and rotatably supported between the left wallboard and the right wallboard. The pressing mechanism is for applying a pressure on the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller and for adjusting the pressure.

Calender for the treatment of web-like materials, including a fixed structure supporting two heated rollers reciprocally arranged so as to form a nip traversable by web-like materials, where each roller has pins mounted on bearings. The structure includes two lower levers and two upper levers adapted for exerting on the bearings forces oriented according to not coinciding directions, each lever being connected with an actuator that controls its rotation around a horizontal axis to put it in a first engagement position of the respective bearing and in a second release position, such that in the second position of the levers the extraction of the rollers from the calender is allowed.

The pressing mechanism is for applying a pressure on the supporting mechanism of the upper-calendering roller and for adjusting the pressure.

A device for lacquering or coating a substrate is disclosed. The device includes a substrate plate configured to accommodate said substrate, and one or more suction points connected to, and extending upwardly from, the substrate plate. The one or more suction points may be configured to provide a vacuum to said substrate.

A cooler (144) providing gas blows and comprising at least one cooler module having at least one cooler module (41, 42, 43, 44) of the cooler (144) is curved to provide a gas turn module for turning run of the fiber web (W) from its main running direction 80-190. The cooler (144) includes moisturizing at least one surface of the fiber web. Having a blowing zone (45, 46, 53) in which gas is blown toward a surface of the fiber web and that the cooler comprises at least one suction zone (51), in which the fiber web evaporated moisture is drawn away from the proximity of a surface of the fiber web. There are cooler modules on both sides of the fiber web. The cooler has a gas turn module located inside a curved fiber web run, which provides gas blows toward the curved fiber web during the run.

Methods of producing cellulosic or lignocellulosic materials for use in papermaking include treating a cellulosic or lignocellulosic dry feedstock having a first average molecular weight with ionizing radiation, and controlling the dose of ionizing radiation such that the average molecular weight of the feedstock is reduced to a predetermined level. A method of producing an irradiated paper product includes treating a paper product including a first carbohydrate-containing material having a first molecular weight with ionizing radiation, and controlling the dose of ionizing radiation so as to provide an irradiated paper product with a second carbohydrate-containing material having a second molecular weight higher than the first molecular weight. Pulp and paper products are produced.

Soft, durable and bulky tissue products comprising non-wood fibers and more particularly high yield hesperaloe pulp fibers are disclosed. The tissue products preferably comprise at least about 5 percent, by weight of the product, high yield hesperaloe pulp fiber and have relatively modest tensile strengths, such as a geometric mean tensile (GMT) greater than about 1,000 g/3, and improved durability and cross-machine direction (CD) properties, such as a CD Stretch greater than about 10 percent. Additionally, at the foregoing tensile strengths the products are not overly stiff. For example, the tissue products may have a Stiffness Index less than about 10.0.
