ABSTRACT:
A dryer section in a papermaking machine has two reversing rolls to form a pocket between each pair of dryers in a dryer tier. The first reversing roll is a vacuum roll and the second reversing roll is a grooved roll. A blow box is disposed between the two rolls, the blow box provides suction for the grooved roll and provides vacuum which restrains a web on the dryer fabric as it travels between the first and the second rolls. The blow box also provides a supply of make-up air which extends in a cross machine direction along the pocket formed by the two reversing rolls. The blow box also supports a pivoting foil which is positioned against the dryer fabric as it moves from a first dryer, towards the first reversing roll. The foil defines a region of low pressure which restrains the web as it travels between the first dryer and the first reversing roll.
