Abstract
The main part of the de-watering process in a paper machine (PM) is
carried out by means of mechanical pressing, which considerably influences the
paper quality and energy efficiency of the paper machine. This paper
discusses a method for controlled press-felt mechanical degradation. For our
research, a special test device was designed and developed to simulate
press-felt ageing in the pressing section of paper machines. All the described
methods and tests were carried out in the Institute of Fibre Materials
Science at Tampere University of Technology.
