Maxi Press™ (Shoe Press)
Maxi Press™ Shoe Press
Maxi Press™ shoe press technology delivers extended nip pressing for maximum water removal.
Maxi Press™ shoe press technology delivers extended nip pressing for maximum water removal.
The Maxi Press represents Parason's advanced extended nip pressing technology, delivering breakthrough dewatering performance that transforms paper machine economics. By extending the pressing zone through shoe press technology, the Maxi Press achieves dryness levels impossible with conventional roll presses.
Unlike conventional press nips measured in millimeters, the Maxi Press creates an extended pressing zone of 200-300mm, dramatically increasing residence time under pressure. This extended nip enables gentle, progressive dewatering that reaches sheet dryness of 48-54%.
These improvements translate directly to 15-20% reduction in steam consumption for the dryer section, transforming the operating economics of paper production.

Advanced shoe press technology for superior dewatering
200-300mm pressing zone provides gentle, progressive dewatering achieving superior dryness levels.
Rigid fixed beam with hydraulic cylinders ensures uniform pressure distribution across sheet width.
Rotating flexible blanket conforms precisely to loading roll profile for consistent nip geometry.
Lower roll blanket moves over thin oil layer, eliminating wear while maintaining precision.
Individual hydraulic zones enable CD profile adjustment for uniform moisture distribution.
Design optimized for reliable operation at speeds up to 1200 MPM without vibration.
Higher exit dryness dramatically reduces dryer section load and energy costs.
Gentle extended nip pressing improves sheet bulk, smoothness, and strength properties.
