Tissue manufacturing Like any other paper machine, a tissue machine consists of a wet-end (headbox, forming section), a press section, and a drying section. However, a tissue paper machine is much shorter and relatively faster than a conventional paper machine due to fast drying of low grammages. A typical feature of tissue paper is the
