F-60 Operation and Maintenance Manual

The gap between two rolls is called the nip.

The purpose of adjusting the nip is to ensure continu- ous contact between the rolls as the media is drawn through the machine. This procedure must be done reg- ularly for the main rolls. It is not necessary to set the nip on the pull rolls.
