<p>A dryer section apparatus (10D) is disclosed for drying a web (WD). The apparatus (10D) includes a first tier (12D) of rotatable dryers including a first and second dryer (14D, 16D). A second tier (18D) of rotatable dryers includes a third dryer (20D) disposed downstream relative to the first dryer (14D) and upstream relative to the second dryer (16D). A transfer roll (22D) is disposed between the first, second and third dryers (14D, 16D, 20D) such that the distance between the transfer roll (22D) and the first dryer (14D) is less than the distance between the transfer roll (22D) and the second dryer (16D). A blow box (36D) is disposed between the roll (22D) and the first and second dryers (14D, 16D) with the box (36D) being disposed outside the pocket (26D) for blowing a first current of air (40D) into the pocket (26D) through the felt (24D) extending between the first dryer (14D) and the roll (22D).</p> |
