Abstract
Continuously running web material is transferred from a dryer, or the like, to a proximate calender, or the like, along flutter suppressing foils. The web may be calendered in a nip between a rotary calender roll and a reel drum with which a reel core is in nip relation for winding the web on the core. The calender may comprise a single roll or a plurality of rolls. A split torque arrangement is provided for the reel drum and the reel core. Especially useful for handling creped tissue paper web.
