in fig4 steam blow device 44 may also include at least one steam blow box 44 in this case too steam blow box 44 is located again at the beginning of the drying zone which is defined by hot air hood 36 and is located inside hot air hood 36 therefore in this arrangement too fibrous web 38 is initially treated with steam and subsequently with hot air as can be seen in fig3 a device such as a doctor blade 46 or similar devices can be provided in order to remove the boundary layer of air which is carried along by outer permeable structured fabric 40 covering fibrous web 38 before fabric 40 enters into the drying zone in addition machine 28 includes a former with two dewatering fabrics 40 and 48 running together whereby in the existing example the inside fabric is the permeable structured fabric 40 the two dewatering fabrics 40 and 48 run together thereby forming a stock infeed nip 50 and are carried over a forming element 52 especially a forming roll 52 in the existing example permeable structured fabric 40 is in the embodiment of the inside dewatering fabric of the former which is in contact with forming element 52 outside dewatering fabric 48 which is not in contact with forming element 52 is separated again from fibrous web 38 subsequent to forming element 52 the fibrous stock suspension is fed into the stock infeed nip 50 by way.
