Abstract:
1. A method for making a creped tissue paper of enhanced tactile quality and for facilitating handling and control of the tissue in a dry end of a tissue machine, comprising the steps of: drying a tissue paper web on a heated drying cylinder; creping the web from the drying cylinder using a creping doctor so as to form a creped tissue paper web; receiving the web from the creping doctor onto a first fabric arranged in a loop downstream of the drying cylinder; transporting the web on the first fabric through a compression nip in which the web is compressed so as to substantially reduce the caliper of the web; transferring the web from the first fabric onto a second fabric arranged in a loop; and carrying the web on the second fabric to a reel-up and winding the web from the second fabric onto a building paper roll in the reel-up.
