DuoFormer Top - A New Former for the Production of Top Plies of Packaging Papers, 1998 Multi-Ply Forming Forum Proceedings
The newly-developed DuoFormer Top is a top-layer gap former that transfers the advantages of the gap forming technology relevant to packaging papers - so far only available for base plies - to the production of separately-formed top plies.
This paper describes the design of the unit and the various technological relations playing a part in achieving the required product quality.
With this unit, Voith Sulzer Paper Technology rounds off its gap former spectrum and thus is the first paper machine manufacturer to offer gap former concepts tailor-made to suit all applications in the packaging paper sector, which permits producing also heavy grades with excellent quality at high speeds.
