A second permeable wire section is brought in contact with a side of the web opposite that of the first wire section while passing through the pair of rolls. The first and second wire sections produce a press nip when they pass through the pair of water removing rolls with the web to remove water from the web, the water being removed to openings in the open surface of the non-suction water receiving roll. A water receptacle is positioned just downstream of the pair of water removing rolls on the same side of the web as the non-suction water receiving roll for collecting water as water is thrown from the non-suction water receiving roll b…
