Fourdrinier machinePapermaking machine patented by the Fourdrinier brothers Henry and Sealy in England in 1803. On the machine, liquid pulp flows onto a moving wire-mesh belt, and water drains and is sucked away, leaving a damp paper web. This is passed first through a series of steam-heated rollers, which dry it, and then between heavy calender rollers, which give it a smooth finish. Such machines can measure up to 90 m/300 ft in length, and are still in use. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Internal Size: A fourdrinier machine producing lightweight specialty printing and writing papers was alkaline sized with AKD and used a bentonite microparticulate retention system. The new three-ply paper fourdrinier machine will use state-of-the-art technology to produce a strong, yet light-weight sheet of paper. There still are many excellent high-tech products directed to improving sheet quality and machine operations for cylinder and fourdrinier machines, but new technology in these areas in the future will most likely come from smaller suppliers. |
