Top Wire Forming Sections

The Walmsleys Top Wire Former is an extremely versatile unit that can be retro-fitted to almost any fourdrinier. It significantly increases the water handling capacity of the forming section, allowing higher production rates or lower headbox consistency. The additional water removed is taken from the top of the sheet, where it is normally hard to get at. This brings the additional benefit of improving structural two-sidedness, by balancing the water removal pattern. Formation is dramatically improved by the action of the blades, and tensile strength, smoothness, porosity, and many other sheet properties are also enhanced. The top wire former can be applied across the basis weight range, from newsprint and graphics grades to heavyweight packaging boards.
