Abstract

The invention concerns a press section for a paper machine with at least two presses which are successively passed by a web to be dewatered, the web alternately making contact with a press felt and a closed shell surface of a press roll. The first press is fashioned as a single-felted shoe press and configured such that the one web side will make contact with a first smooth press element. The second press is fashioned single-felted as well and configured such that the other web side makes contact with a second, smooth press element. A web transport system is provided between each two adjacent presses. The invention is characterized in that the web transport system features a guide roll with smooth shell surface serving to pick up the web, at least during normal operation, directly from the smooth press element of the first press.
