Improved machine efficiency and long lifetime
The proven choice for board machines - Valmet Forming Fabric OP
In addition to featuring a long lifetime and effective dewatering, the fabrics must have a good retention capability, minimal fiber and water carry, high dimensional and diagonal stability, as well as good fiber support. Not to forget the contribution to energy savings thanks to lower drive loads.
Excellent dewatering
Long running times
Best wear resistance
Stable run
Strong seam
Saving energy
Durability
Valmet Forming Fabric OP provides 25% better fiber support and 15% higher CMD stiffness than traditional SSB fabrics. Although the fabric is thinner and has a void volume almost 10% lower, its wear resistance is almost 20% better than that of a traditional SSB fabric. The seam is also 50% stronger, mainly due to the lock binding.
Lock binding gives tighter binding
The tighter binding of the OP forming fabric means:
- lower caliper
- lower void volume
- less internal wear
- higher fabric stability
- stronger seam
Based on these characteristics, this innovative forming
fabric has contributed to many production records on
packaging paper machines worldwide.
