The invention is about a drying system to be applied on the central drum of a flexographic machine. The dryer is made of two concentric cylinders: the outer one having a slotor several slots with different thicknessesthe inner one having a slot with a trapezoid shape. By adjusting the relative position of the trapeze and the outer slot sets the effective size of the vent, which determines the air flow coming out of the dryer. This results in a simple and reliable way of configuring the drying of the print.

The invention may utilize shaft horsepower for rotating cylinders to move a fluid in an axial direction within the cylinder. The cylinder may comprise a spiral blade on or in its inner surface with a pitch relative to a central axis of the cylinder. The blade's pitch may be variable or uniform with respect to the central axis. In some applications, plural blades may be positioned within the cylinder. The invention is particularly suitable for imparting kinetic energy sufficient to assist with the evacuation of condensate from a paper dryer cylinder with reduced or no blow through steam. The invention also has applications for spinner wheels.

In a press area, a wet paper is pressed against a heating surface to heat the wet paper with a conveying surface to conveying the wet paper to form a pressure regulating gap between the heating surface and the conveying surface. The pressure regulating gap is provided in a size less than a thickness of the wet paper and more than a thickness of recycled paper to be produced therefrom.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for removing water from a wet fibrous web. During the process of making a fibrous structure, a capillary dewatering apparatus remove water from a wet porous web. In some configurations, a capillary dewatering apparatus may include a capillary porous media. A molding member, such as a papermaking belt comprising an air permeable fabric, may advance the wet fibrous web onto the capillary porous media, wherein the fibrous web is positioned between the capillary porous media and the air-permeable fabric. An energy transfer surface may be positioned in contact with the air-permeable fabric or the outer circumferential surface, wherein the energy transfer surface operates to vibrate the capillary porous media. In turn, the vibration helps to drive water through the capillary porous media, allowing additional water to flow from the fibrous web and through pores in the capillary porous media.
