Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus for dewatering mixtures of fibrous and liquid materials wherein at least one pair of mutually opposite pressure elements forms a pressure gap through which a continuous web formed of the mixture of fibrous and liquid materials is passed jointly with at least one endless belt and wherein the pressure elements are set up in a press frame, at least one pressure element being movable in such frame, there being provided at least one distance adjustment means for adjusting at least one pressure element and thereby the magnitude of the pressure gap or the pressure intensity. The invention is characterized in that at least one distance adjustment means (17) is installed solely between the mountings (4,15; 5,16) of the pressure elements (2,3).
