Vector Tri-Axial Press Fabric Design Improves Press Section Performance, 2003 Spring Technical Conference Proceedings

Paper machine clothing is an integral part of the papermaking process. The pursuit of higher machine speeds, improvements in paper quality and greater machine efficiency place a greater reliance on press fabric technology to ensure that mill projects are successful. Voith Fabrics has developed the Vector concept to meet the latest industry needs. Engineered to optimize surface uniformity and z-direction resiliency, the Vector offers superior sheet finish and provides optimum press performance. The Vector system utilizes a unique manufacturing process to produce a non- woven layer of fine monofilaments with tri-axial orientation. The tri-axial layer offers advantages not available with traditionally manufactured seamed and endless press fabrics. This paper will briefly detail the design layout and review benefits achieved through recent case studies.
