Paper Machine Clothing and Recycled Fiber Usage, 1992 Engineering Conference Proceedings
Paper machine clothing must provide sheet transference, remove water and impart desired sheet surface characteristics. The use of recycled fibers in papermaking may influence some, all, or none of these functions. The influence will depend on the paper grade produced, types of recycled fiber used, paper machine chemistry, cleaning/conditioning systems, and fabric designs.
The European and North American papermakers have provided a wide variety of recycled fiber environments for paper machine clothing suppliers to evaluate effects on their fabric’s performance. contamination. The primary effect has been fillers, Contamination comes in many forms: stickies, fillers, chemical imbalances, etc.
