METHOD AND APPARATUS IN MOISTENING OF A WEB

摘要

In the method in moistening of a web, water is applied with a wetting device (2) in a predetermined point on the surface of a paper web (W) or the like passing by the point, and the web is thereafter passed to a calender (C). The liquid is applied at such an early stage that before the surface treatment, the fibres exposed to wetting in the paper web (W) or the like have the time to absorb it at least 80% of the amount of liquid they are capable of absorbing. The distance travelled by the web between the drying section and the calender is increased with rolls (1) which guide the web (W) along a winding path.
