A dewatering system for dewatering a web, the system comprising:
- a former comprising an inner forming wire;
- a belt press;
- and
- a structured fabric comprising a paper web facing side and being guided over a support surface and through the belt press,
- wherein the structured fabric runs at a slower speed than the former, and
- wherein the inner forming wire is not a structured fabric.
A dewatering system for dewatering a web, the system comprising:
- a twin wire former comprising an outer wire and an inner wire;
- a belt press arranged downstream of the twin wire former;
- and
- a structured fabric arranged to support the web after the web is transferred from the inner wire,
- wherein the structured fabric and the inner wire of the twin wire former run at different speeds, and
- wherein the inner wire is not a structured fabric.
