Increase Smoothness, Decrease Energy , 2006 Papermaker’s Conference

PressWeb.jpg

The demand for paper with better smoothness properties has led press fabric manufacturers to develop products that have better sheet side finishes. These smooth finishes are obtained by using special batt fibers with enhanced needling to improve pressure uniformity between the felt and the sheet, which delivers better water removal and better smoothness. The increased water removal will allow for the reduction of steam to dry the sheet which results in reduced energy costs.
