A method of making tissue paper is provided, in which a fibrous web is formed in a forming section and transferred to a Yankee drying cylinder in a non-dewatering transfer nip formed between the Yankee drying cylinder and a shoe roll. The shoe roll has a shoe that is deformable such that it can adapt to a cylindrical outer surface of the Yankee drying cylinder, and a rotatable flexible jacket arranged to run in a loop around the shoe. A structured carrier fabric runs around the shoe roll and has land areas and void areas facing the fibrous web. The length of the transfer nip is in the range of 30 mm -100 mm and the linear load in the transfer nip is in the range of 35 kN/m-120 kN/m. The peak pressure in the transfer nip lies in the range 2 MPa-8 MPa.

A device for micro-embossing paper includes at least one micro-embossing unit to micro-emboss a wet paper ply. The micro-embossing unit includes a micro-embossing cylinder and a counter cylinder facing the micro-embossing cylinder at an embossing area where the wet paper ply is subjected to micro-embossing, and a heater to dry the wet paper ply. The micro-embossing cylinder includes a side surface partially wrapped by the wet paper ply. The heater heats at least one portion of the side surface partially wrapped by the wet paper ply to dry the wet paper ply.

The present invention relates to a method of making tissue paper in which a fibrous web (W) is formed in a forming section (2) and transferred to a Yankee drying cylinder (12) in a non-dewatering transfer nip (TN) formed between the Yankee drying cylinder (12) and a shoe roll (14). The Yankee drying cylinder (12) has a cylindrical outer surface (13) and it is arranged to be rotatable about an axis of rotation (A). The shoe roll (14) has a shoe (15) that is deformable such that it can adapt to the cylindrical outer surface (13) of the Yankee drying cylinder (12) and the shoe roll (14) also comprises a rotatable flexible jacket (16) that is arranged to run in a loop around the shoe (15). A structured carrier fabric (10) runs in a loop around the shoe roll and has land areas and void areas facing the fibrous web. The method comprises forming the transfer nip (TN) between the shoe (15) and the cylindrical outer surface (13) of the Yankee drying cylinder (12) and the length (L) of the transfer nip (TN) in the circumferential direction of the Yankee drying cylinder (12) is in the range of 30 mm -100 mm and the linear load in the transfer nip (TN) is in the range of 35 kN/m-120 kN/m. According to the invention the peak pressure in the transfer nip (TN) as defined by the linear load divided by the land area of the carrier fabric (10) lies in the range 2 MPa-8 MPa.

A method of producing a paper or paperboard product having at least one ply comprising high yield pulp (HYP), comprising the steps of: providing a furnish comprising at least 50% of high yield pulp (HYP) of a total pulp content in said furnish, said high yield pulp being produced with a wood yield above 85%; dewatering the furnish to form a moist web and pressing said moist web to a dry solids content of at least 40-70%; and densifying the moist web to a density above 600 kg/m3 in a press nip of a paper machine at a temperature above a softening temperature of water-saturated lignin comprised in said high yield pulp to provide a paper or paperboard product, containing at least 30% high yield pulp (HYP) of a total pulp content of said product.

A system for fabricating a sheet product. A first rotatable roller includes a rotatable drum portion having an outer surface that rotates about a rotational axis in a first direction and conveys a sheet product. The rotatable drum portion also has a plurality of ports communicative between an inner surface and an outer surface. The ports extend along and around the drum portion. The first rotatable roller emits a pressurized fluid. A second rotatable roller has an outer surface arranged proximate to the outer surface of the rotatable drum portion of the first rotatable roller, and a heat source portion to heat the second rotatable roller to dry the sheet product. The second rotatable roller rotates in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction. A gap is defined between the second rotatable roller and the first rotatable roller through which the sheet product passes.

Sealing strip holder for suction rolls used for dewatering of sheeting e.g. for paper machines comprises a roll shell with openings and disposed within at least one suction box and methods of using the same.

A seamed felt for use in a machine for producing a tissue web has a single-layer or multilayer base structure and at least one layer of non-woven fibers. The base structure has a textile structure with MD threads which form seam loops at the two front edges of the base structure. The fabric can be made endless by connecting its front edges by way of a seam. The seam can be formed by interlocking the seam loops of the two front edges and introducing a push-in element. The MD threads wholly or predominantly have a diameter between 0.25 mm and 0.45 mm, in particular between 0.3 mm and 0.35 mm, and the thread density of the MD threads is more than 37%, in particular between 37% and 45%. There is also described a corresponding machine and a method for producing a tissue web.

The present invention relates to a process for producing at least one ply of a paper or board product wherein a web comprising mechanical and/or chemimechanical pulp and at least one dry strength additive is dried in a press drying process by subjecting the web to heat and an overpressure of above 40 kPa. The present invention also relates to a paper product, a paperboard product and a ply produced according to the process.

The invention relates to sealing systems and methods for the operation of sealing systems of suction rolls, comprising inside at least one suction box (4) which is sealed laterally by one sealing strip system (1, 2) respectively from the roll shell (3) and each sealing strip system (1, 2) comprises one sealing strip (1.1, 2.1).
