a) Vertical size press
b) Horizontal size press
c) Gate roll size press
d) Inclined size press
View Answer

Answer: d

a) Vertical size press
b) Horizontal size press
c) Gate roll size press
d) Inclined size press
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: In size press processes, chemicals and coatings are applied to the surface of dried paper. As a check before papermaking, Prescale film L.L.W. is passed through the press without any size liquid applied to check for the presence of wear.
