Abstract: A shoe press apparatus of a paper machine for pressing wet paper through a nip includes a counter roll, and a shoe module disposed adjacent to the counter roll. The shoe module includes a cylindrical blanket, and a press mechanism disposed inside the cylindrical blanket, extending in a width direction of the cylindrical blanket and individually pressing a plurality of pressed portions formed on the cylindrical blanket along a traveling direction of the wet paper, toward an outer-surface of the counter roll so that the wet paper is pressed in the nip between the cylindrical blanket and the counter roll so that a pressure can be applied efficiently in response to a density required for paper solely by the shoe press apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a smoothing press for a paper machine and a press for a paper machine with a smoothing press as well as a paper production method. At a final stage of a press section (2) of a paper machine, wet web (1) with one face thereof retained by elastic members (13, 14) is pressed by the nip section of a pair of press rolls (12a, 12b) having a surface formed from a rigid material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of spraying antipollution agent which can securely apply a proper amount of antipollution agent to a canvas of a paper machine, a spray nozzle and a slidable spray apparatus used in the spraying method, and antipollution agent. In antipollution agent spraying method of applying antipollution agent (T) to a canvas (A) used for drying paper in a paper machine, the method applies the antipollution agent (T) from a spray nozzle (S) toward a contact start position (C) between an outer surface of the canvas (A) and an out roll (B), applies the antipollution agent (T) to said out roll (B), and transfers and applies the antipollution agent (T) to the canvas (A) via said out roll (B).
