  1. Conventional Single-Felt Press Section: Prices typically range from $500,000 to $1 million for smaller machines and can exceed $3 million for larger machines with advanced features.

  2. Shoe Press Section: Shoe presses are more advanced and efficient, leading to higher prices. Prices can range from $1 million to $3.5 million, depending on size and technology.

  3. Multi-Nip Press Section: Multi-nip press sections offer superior dewatering capabilities and are priced higher than conventional presses. Prices generally start at $2 million and can go up to $5 million or more for larger and advanced configurations.
