The image captures the production floor of a satisfied customer. This high-speed machine is currently running at full capacity, operating entirely on recycled furnish.
As the "heart" of the paper machine, the forming fabric carries the critical tasks of sheet formation and water drainage. This is especially true when the raw material composition is complex. The durability of the fabric and the uniformity of drainage are paramount.
As you can see in the image, our forming fabric fits snugly against the breast roll and drainage elements. The tension is stable across the width, and the run is straight and wrinkle-free. Despite the high friction and shear forces generated by the high-speed operation, the fabric surface demonstrates exceptional fatigue resistance and wear resistance, ensuring long-term stability during continuous production.
Technical Deep Dive: Engineered for Recycled Furnish & High Speeds
Why does our forming fabric perform so well under these demanding conditions? The secret lies in our targeted solutions for two key challenges:
1.For High Speeds: Stronger Anti-Stretch Design
High-speed operation requires a fabric with extremely low thermal shrinkage and incredibly high joint strength. Our forming fabrics utilize advanced multi-layer composite weaving and special heat treatment processes. This ensures dimensional stability under high tension, preventing profile fluctuations caused by deformation, allowing the customer to confidently maintain their high machine speed.
2.For Recycled Furnish: Superior Contaminant Resistance & Drainage Balance
Recycled furnish contains short fibers and high ash content, which can easily lead to clogging or the loss of fine fibers.
Non-Clogging: The fabric surface features a patented contaminant-resistant mesh design that offers excellent release properties. Even with high-ash recycled pulp, the mesh stays clean and open, extending cleaning cycles and reducing downtime.
High Retention & Formation: The unique support structure quickly forms a stable micro-layer on the surface, effectively retaining short fibers and fillers. This not only reduces white water consistency but also significantly improves sheet formation uniformity.
Behind every smoothly running forming fabric is our deep understanding of materials, weaving technology, and fluid dynamics. If you are currently running recycled furnish and want to improve sheet quality without sacrificing machine speed, consider equipping your machine with a "powerful heart" just like this customer did.
