that it cannot separate from the press belt 3 39 during transport to the next roll press or shoe press this means that downstream of the take off point the paper web is guided to the next press gap sandwiched between the felt 4 39 and the belt 3 39 e the first felt guide roll 16 39 where the sandwiched transport of the paper web begins can be a smooth grooved perforated or suction roll f the guide roll 16 39 described in paragraph e can be swivelable to provide for the setting of a small gap between the felt 4 39 and the press belt 3 39 so that an air film that is drawn between the felt 4 39 and press belt 3 39 can be removed on the side later and that a width stretch action of the paper web occurs as a result g directly downstream of the take off point onto the smooth belt a blowing nozzle that extends over the entire width of the machine can be provided to produce an excess of pressure which facilitates the transfer process and prevents tearing of the web h the looping of the press belt 3 39 onto the press roll s 14 39 must be minimal so that a differential velocity between the press roll 14 39 and the press belt 3 39 can be set i downstream of the shoe press 18 39 the transfer strip of the paper web is first directly drawn to and taken by a suction roll of a first drying screen and guided.
