A web transfer apparatus is disclosed for transferring a web from a press section (l2D) to a dryer section (l4D). The transfer apparatus includes a dryer fabric (42D) extending around the dryer section (l4D) for conveying the web (WD) from the press section (l2D)to, and around, the dryer section (l4D) so that excess water remaining in the web (WD) after the press section (l2D) is removed from the web (WD) when passing through the dryer section (l4D). A first plurality of rotatable rolls (44D) movably support the dryer fabric (42D) and a frame (l28)rotatably supports the first plurality of rolls (44D). The first plurality of rolls (44D) includes a lead-in roll (40D) which is disposed adjacent to the press section (l2D) for guiding the web (WD) from the press section (l2D) towards the dryer section (l4D). The first plurality of rolls (44D) also includes a first transfer roll (l08) which is spaced relative to the lead-in roll (40D) for guiding the web (WD) through the dryer section (l4D). A transfer fabric (l06) cooperates with the dryer fabric (42D) such that the transfer fabric (l06) and dryer fabric (42D) define therebetween a transfer section (ll0) which extends along the dryer fabric (42D) and between the lead-in roll (40D) and the transfer roll (l08). The transfer section (ll0) permits support of the web (WD) therethrough so that the web (WD) is easily led to the dryer section (l4D) while inhibiting any tendency of the web (WD) to droop during threading of the web (WD) from the press section (l2D) to the dryer section (l4D). |
