Forming Section

Toscotec designs and supplies forming sections with diverse arrangements to fulfill customer needs on all paper grade applications.

The basic fourdrinier single or multilayer former may be equipped with the top forming unit TT TopFormer to improve capacity and paper quality parameters. Wire section structures are manufactured using solid or clad stainless steel materials, to operate properly in the harsh environment of the paper machine wet area. This guarantees reliability and low maintenance over time. A “Cantilever” frame concept assures fast and safe wire changes and easier machine operation and maintenance.

TT TopFormer.
The TT TopFormer provides uniform stock activity with symmetrical and progressive drainage. This results in the optimization of paper formation, keeping symmetry of the paper and related fines particles distribution. TT TopFormer unit with three suction boxes enhances the mechanical characteristics of the product while increasing basis weight range and operating speed.

This forming unit for producing multi-layer paper and board combines the attractive cost of forming cylinders concept with a maximum operating speed of 250 mpm.

The configuration of this unit provides optimal control of formation and improves fiber orientation. The simple operation of the TT PressureFormer allows a wide range of CD/MD ratio in the finished product.

This is a unique mini fourdrinier table developed by Toscotec.

This unit offers an operating speed up to 400 mpm and is shown to reduce investment compared with conventional fourdrinier sections. TT ShortFormer operates under the felt (like forming drums) but forms the web on a wire (like a fourdrinier). The unit is composed of a hydraulic headbox forming under pressure on a multi sector forming board with increasing vacuum levels. This solution allows optimal control of CD/MD ratio to suit customer requirements. TT ShortFormer represents a good option for upgrading existing paper machines.
