Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus of drying a fiber web (5) which is dried between two tight bands (1, 2) that move in parallel and turn around turning rolls (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b), the first band (1) being heated and the second band (2) being cooled, the fiber web (5) being arranged to run through the drying zone defined by the bands (1, 2) together with at least two felts or wires (3, 4) such that the fiber web (5) is in contact with the surface of the first band (1), a coarse wire (4) is in contact with the surface of the second, cooled band (2), and a fine wire (3) is between the fiber web (5) and the coarse wire (4). The fine wire (3) is cleaned with a cleaning device (11).

Abstract: A device for feeding a tape which severs a web in a paper or cardboard machine includes a tape and a feeding arrangement for feeding the tape to a space located between a reel spool and a reel drum. The feeding arrangement includes an elongate transfer profile which guides the tape to the space between the reel drum and the reel spool. The transfer profile has an elongate space which is enclosed within a plurality of substantially closed sides and in which the tape travels. One of the substantially closed sides is adapted to permit the tape to emerge from the elongate space.
