• a second group of rollers that occupy spaces between the first group of rollers, the second group of rollers positioned inside the arc to span around the drum at a second distance closer to the surface of the drum than the first distance, wherein the second group of rollers transport the web between the drum and the exit of the enclosure;
• and
• a third group of rollers positioned closer to the drum than the second distance, wherein one roller among the third group of rollers transports the web from the drum to the second group of rollers;
• wherein a location of the last roller and the one roller relative to the arc defines a travel distance of the web inside the enclosure.
