Abstract: A process for producing a web (1) of paper, cardboard or other fibrous material using a device (28) for applying starch is characterised in that the dry content of the web (1) of fibrous material is of less than 70% while the starch becomes adhesive, and in that the web (1) of fibrous material is heated to a temperature which is sufficient for causing the starch to become adhesive.

Abstract: Method and machine for producing a fiber web having a mass per unit area of less than 125 g/m2. The method includes applying a fluid application medium to the fibrous web. The fluid application medium being a liquid having a solids concentration of 15% or more. The machine for producing a fiber web includes a press section having at least one press nip and at least one application device structured and arranged to apply a liquid medium to one side of the fiber web at least one of immediately before the at least one press nip and in the at least one press nip. This abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
