The core advantages of the shoe press are high dryness, high bulk, high uniformity, low energy consumption, and adaptability to high speeds. It is particularly suitable for paper grades that require
both dryness and softness/fluffiness. |

| High dehydration efficiency, high dryness of the output |
1. High dehydration efficiency, high dryness of the output
The pressure zone is wide (80~100mm) and the dwell time is
long (3–5 times longer than traditional methods).
Exit pressure dryness: 47–52% (roller pressing about 40–44%).
Dry steam consumption is reduced by 15–30%.
2. Good paper quality
High bulkiness: moderate pressure and even distribution, making it less prone to compaction and collapse. More uniform moisture/basis weight distribution across the banner: flexible lamination eliminates height differences.
Small difference between two sides, good smoothness, and stable strength.
Fewer paper defects (sand holes, embossing, broken paper).
3.Operation and cost
The wet paper exhibits high strength, leading to a reduced paper breakage rate, allowing for higher machine speeds (1500–2000m/min+).
The lifespan of the blanket is extended by 20–40%.The maintenance cycle is long (high-quality boot covers can last for 2 years or more).
4.Most suitable paper type
Household paper: toilet paper, facial tissue, napkin, kitchen paper.
Key points: achieving a balance of high dryness, high bulkiness, and softness. The best choice is household paper, followed by cardboard and cultural paper.

| Summary: |
| Soft shoe press = gentle and high pressure in a wide press area → higher dryness, fluffier and more uniform paper, greater energy savings, and faster running. |
