Abstract
An extended nip press for a paper machine for removing water from a wet paper, cardboard or that kind of a fibrous or porous web. The press comprises a rotatable press roll and two band rolls parallel to the press roll and an endless press band running around them which is pressed against the press roll for forming an extended press zone. The paper web to be dried is conveyed through the pressing zone with a dewatering felt. The press band consists of several separate parallel band strips, in the pressure zone. Each band strip is equipped with its own stretching device for individual regulation of the tension of the band strip.
