A felt belt carries the sheet from the forming section to the drying section. 4. The large rolls are transferred to a rewinder, where two sheets of wadding are plied together before being further processed by calender rollers for additional softness and smoothness. 5. In the converting department, numerous rolls are put on the multifolder, where in one continuous process, the tissue is interfolded, cut and put into Kleenex® tissue cartons which are inserted into shipping containers.
