Flexible Forming System optimizes the forming section configuration for each specific paper grade, while gaining quick, automated positioning during grade changes. Upgrade existing fourdrinier equipment with an adjustable table setup that is customized to your wet end process.
Formation is one of the most important structural properties of paper and paperboard. It affects several of the properties important for final uses, such as strength and visual properties. Valmet Breast Roll Shaker is an effective solution to improve the sheet forming process. It improves formation by creating shear forces in the web to break up large flocs.
The Valmet FFS® is custom designed to enhance your forming table performance. It consists of a combination of Flexible™ Forming Board, HydroFlex™ and VacuFlex™ units. This system, engineered to fit on your existing fourdrinier structure, offers adjustability to provide your papermakers with the ability to optimize the forming section configuration for each grade. The system can also be complemented with a Microwave Consistency Meter to give instant process feedback to further enhance the table optimization. The entire system is operated through our Valmet FFS controls package.
