Under Felt Multi-Ply Forming Utilizing - The High Activity FCFormer, 1998 Multi-Ply Forming Forum Proceedings
The most common devices being used to form multiply paperback lack the ability to control the sheet properties which are increasingly required by todays converting operations. Multiple grade machines need the ability to control properties such as basis weight, profile, formation, and fiber orientation independently at high operating speeds and production loads. These are areas of compromise or no control with conventional technologies.
Redesigning the wet end of a cylinder board machine to achieve fourdrinier style quality control, with innovative forming and water removal concepts, in a package that is low cost in capital, installation and operations will position the multiply board operations for the demands of the future.
