  • Patent number: 5555638
    Abstract: A method for contact drying a paper web, wherein the paper web is dried by heated smooth-faced drying cylinders by passing the web through successively arranged so-called normal groups with single-wire draw in which drying cylinders are situated in a first row and reversing suction cylinders or equivalent suction rolls are situated in a second row. Thereafter, the web is dried by passing it through a hybrid dryer group which hybrid dryer group consists of a normal portion with single-wire draw and a portion with twin-wire draw, one of the wires in the twin-wire portion constituting the wire of the portion with single-wire draw whereas the other wire in the twin-wire portion is a separate wire. The invention also relates to a dryer section of a paper machine wherein the initial part includes successively arranged so-called normal groups with single-wire draw after which one hybrid dryer group is provided, in which there is a portion with single-wire draw and a portion with twin-wire draw.
