Machine for dewatering and drying a fibrous web

A machine for dewatering and drying a fibrous web formed at least partially from waste paper, the machine comprising:

• a press section including a plurality of press rolls forming at least two press nips therebetween, the at least two press nips including a first press nip and a second press nip;
• the first press nip being configured to allow two water absorbing dewatering belts and the fibrous web contained therebetween to run through;
• the second press nip being configured to allow at least one other dewatering belt and a smooth impermeable transfer belt with the fibrous web contained therebetween to run through, the smooth impermeable transfer belt running under and transferring the fibrous web after the second press nip to a receiving belt in a downstream machine unit, the receiving belt being a dryer fabric and the downstream machine unit being a dryer group in which the fibrous web is guided in a serpentine manner alternatively over at least one heated dryer cylinder and at least one vacuum equipped guide roll, the at least one heated dryer cylinder including a first heated dryer cylinder and a second heated dryer cylinder downstream of the first heated dryer cylinder;
• at least one removal receiving doctor being assigned to the first heated dryer cylinder of the downstream dryer group;
• and
• a pulper located under the removal receiving doctor, wherein an axis of the first heated dryer cylinder and an axis of the at least one vacuum equipped guide roll are offset vertically relative to one another and located at a horizontal distance from one another, the horizontal distance being 85-95% of the sum of a radius of the first heated dryer cylinder and a radius of the at least one vacuum equipped guide roll such that web travel is stable and a web-wide transfer of the fibrous web through the press section occurs at the first heated dryer cylinder of the downstream dryer group, two of the plurality of press rolls forming at least one of the two press nips are a cylindrical press roll that are extended and a shoe press roll equipped with a flexible roll cover that is pressed by a pressure shoe having a concave contact surface against the cylindrical press roll, the shoe press roll being above the cylindrical roll.
