One of the main factors in improving machine efficiency is the ability to remove water from the sheet. The main factor in removing water from the sheet is the nip impulse. The optimum nip impulse will maximize moisture removal, protect sheet qualities, and sustain performance of rolls and felts. The nip impulse is the area under the curve of the nip intensity and nip width.
