Bus/Financial - Paper / Paper Manufacturing / embosser
English term or phrase: broach the nip
If there is a lot of debris being cleaned off by the scraper blade it is, invariably, a sign that there are 2 settings that need to be reviewed / adjusted.

These are, as follows:

1) The applicator roll is too hard against the steel embossing roll and this is causing fibres to be pulled from the web and carried around the applicator / gravure rolls – see later slide.

2) The gravure / applicator nip is not tight enough and this enables the fibers to broach the nip.

I know that the nip is the space between the gravure roll and the applicator roll, however, I cannot find the proper word for "broach".

Thanks in advance for the help!

Explanation:
Conventional roll presses are configured with one of the press rolls is in a fixed position, with a mating roll being loaded against this fixed roll. The felts run through the nips of the press rolls and continues around a felt run, normally consisting of several felt rolls. During the dwell time in the nip, the moisture from the sheet is transferred to the press felt. When the press felt exits the nip and continues around, a vacuum box known as an Uhle Box applies vacuum (normally -60 kPa) to the press felt to remove the moisture so that when the felt returns to the nip on the next cycle, it does not add moisture to the sheet.

disagree  Giovanni Rengifo: I don't know what broach is, but I do know that "nip" is actually the "point of contact between two rolls", not a squeezer. It doesn't make sense.

Explanation:
According to the context you gave, the possible meaning could be "agrandar". I do not know the translation of "nip", but I fould that "broach" is "to shape or enlarge (a hole)..." (MerriamWebster's), considering that the "nip is not tight enough and enables the fibers to broach"... I think it could help you understand.
