edgewicking with less use of the sizing agents application_number US 201514970955 A description fig1 illustrates an exemplary method for making an internally sized paperboard web 310 using a paper machine a forming wire 110 in the form of an endless belt passes over a breast roll 115 that rotates proximate to a headbox 120 the headbox provides a fiber slurry in water with a fairly low consistency for example about 0 5 solids that passes onto the moving forming wire 110 during a first distance 230 water drains from the slurry and through the forming wire 110 forming a web of wet fibers the slurry during distance 130 may yet have a wet appearance as there is free water on its surface at some point as drainage continues the free water may disappear from the surface and over distance 231 water may continue to drain although the surface appears free from water eventually the web is carried by a transfer felt or press felt through one or more pressing devices such as press rolls 130 that help to further dewatering the web usually with the application of pressure vacuum and sometimes heat after pressing the still relatively wet web 300 is dried for example using dryer or drying sections 401 402 403 to produce a dry web u201c raw stock u201d 310 which may then be run through a size press 410 that applies a surface sizing these steps as described so far are well known in the art of papermaking the wetter the web e g at.
