A calender arrangement for calendering a material web, in particular a
paper web, having a shoe roll and a mating roll, between which an
extended nip is formed, through which the material web can be guided. The
shoe roll includes a revolving shell, which is fixed to two rotatably
mounted terminating elements arranged at the ends and can be loaded in
the direction of the mating roll via a press shoe matched to the outside
of the mating roll. The shell includes a radially inner base layer and an
adjacent, radially outer functional layer. The base layer includes a
resilient matrix material reinforced by embedded fibers, and the
functional layer includes a matrix material with a lower fiber content
than the base layer.
