Press Felt Moisture Profiles

The press section has, literally, a huge impact on the sheet. There are so many factors to consider:

mechanical forces, like press load but also vibrations;
hydrolic forces, related to machine speed and press roll type;
press roll (open) surface and hardness;
press felt construction and surface;
etc. etc.

So many parameters and so much influence on the sheet: the press section is probably one of the most complicated parts of the paper making process.
