Processing device and method of operating the device for processing a coated or uncoated fibrous web

摘要

A processing device and a method of applying the same for processing a coated or uncoated fibrous web are provided. The device comprises a belt configured to extend around a guiding element, at least one counter-element being disposed outside said belt to establish a contact area with the belt, such that the belt and the counter-element establish therebetween a web processing zone for passing a web to be processed therethrough. The processing zone length is defined by the disposition/adjustment of the belt's guiding element and/or by the design of the counter-elements. The contact pressure applied to a web in the processing zone is configured to be within the range of between about 0.01 MPa and about 70 MPa.
