Futuristic View of Paper Machine Design, 20 Years from Today, 1992 Engineering Conference Proceedings
This paper focuses on the developing trends and technologies that will be applied in papermaking in the early 21st century. It begins with a brief over-view of the speeds and widths of the new machines that will be in operation and then looks at the grades that will be produced and the fiber resources that will be available. The paper reviews the forming technologies that will be applied to produce quality paper products.
The paper then focuses specifically on the pressing and drying technologies.
