Device for smoothing a paper or board web (9) with at least one nip (6) formed between two rolls (3, 4), wherein at least one of the rolls (3) for controlling a thickness transverse profile of the paper or board web (9) in the web transverse direction is a deflection-adjustable and zone-controlled roll (3) for setting a line load distribution over the roll width which can be selected in the at least one nip (6), wherein the at least one nip (6) is provided for smoothing the thickness transverse profile of the paper or board web (9) by means of an adjustable line load profile and simultaneously introducing a treatment medium (2) into the paper or board web (9), for which purpose at least one coater (1) having a delivery nozzle (8) for applying application medium (2), in particular starch, is arranged in such a way that the application of the treatment medium (2) to at least one of the two rolls (3, 4) of the nip (6) is provided and is designed for indirect application of the treatment medium (2) to at least one side of the running paper or board web (9) and the at least one coater (1) has at least one delivery nozzle (8) with a device (13) for cross-profile adjustment of a volume flow of the treatment medium (2) which can be adjusted zone by zone over the web width.

The invention relates to a method of making tissue paper in a machine for making tissue paper and in which method a fibrous web is passed through at least one press nip together with a texturing belt. The texturing belt has a side that faces the fibrous web in the press nip and the surface of that side is a web contacting surface that is textured. The texturing belt can be selected such that the tissue paper that is manufactured obtains desired values for one or several parameters. The invention also relates to a machine for making tissue paper. The machine comprises a forming section, a drying cylinder, a press having a first press unit and a second press unit between which press units a nip is formed. The second press unit is preferably a shoe roll. The machine also comprises a drying cylinder which is arranged to be heated from the inside by hot steam and on which a fibrous web can be dried by heat. A texturing belt is arranged to run in a loop through the nip and to the drying cylinder such that a fibrous web can be carried by the texturing belt to the drying cylinder and transferred to the drying cylinder. The side of the texturing belt that contacts the fibrous web comprises a layer of a polymer material such that the polymer material will contact the fibrous web and cavities are formed in that surface of the texturing belt that comes into contact with the fibrous web.

A fiber assembly-forming method includes forming a web containing a plurality of fibers charged to a first polarity on a transport belt charged to a second polarity opposite to the first polarity and applying a liquid to the web formed on the transport belt from a nozzle of a liquid coater. The liquid contains a binder binding the fibers.

An accumulating unit that discharges fibers by rotating a drum unit in which a plurality of openings are formed, a second web forming unit that forms a second web by operating a mesh belt, a sheet forming unit that forms a sheet from the second web, and a control unit that performs a start control for operating the accumulating unit and the second web forming unit from the stop state are included. In a case where the start control is performed from a state where the fibers are present in the drum unit, the control unit adjusts a thickness of the second web by controlling at least one of a timing at which rotation of the drum unit is initiated, a rotational speed of the drum unit, a timing at which movement of the mesh belt is initiated, and a movement speed of the mesh belt.

A measurement apparatus of a moving paper web, includes an optical radiation source that outputs optical radiation toward a scattering element of the measurement apparatus. The scattering element scatters the optical radiation, and a transmitting surface of the scattering element directs the optical radiation in a scattered manner toward the moving paper web. A distance between said transmitting surface of the scattering element and a surface of the paper web is known, and the transmitting surface and a detector of the apparatus are on opposite sides of the paper web. The detector receives at least a part of the optical radiation, which is side-scattered from the moving paper web. The detector determines a moisture value and a dry weight of the paper web on the basis of spectral information on the received optical radiation and the known distance.
