This kind of process takes place in a new (patented) device called the air press. The results of theoretical considerations are experimentally verified. The experimental research was conducted on a specially designed experimental stand with the use of three kinds of paper used for oil and air filtration. It was proven that the air through-blowing process of the fibrous web dewatering can be considered as unidirectional consolidation with the linear relationship of dehydration and deformation. A new system of devices was suggested for the continuous production of high quality filter papers, with the air press as its basic element.}, type={Article}, title={The analysis of the consolidation process of the paper web in the air press}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/125320/PDF/8_MECHANICAL_48_2001_2_Kawka_The_analysis.pdf}, keywords={paper machine, dewatering and consolidation of paper web, air press}, }
