Oriented Sheet Former (Experimental Type) - OpTest

The pulp and paper industry has been confronted with diverse problems such as requirements for resource saving, energy saving, and environmentally friendly activities, as well as development of value-added products. Much attention has been devoted to relationship with the practical paper making machine, retention of filler and chemicals, and high concentration paper making. We KRK have developed an orientated paper machine that can be used instead of the conventional hand-making sheet machine. It can change the paper orientation as desired. Operation principle: slurry of a certain concentration is sprayed through the nozzle onto the wire mesh with water wall, to form paper on the wire on the drum inner wall. With this machine you can make orientated paper sheets and check the filler retention on the paper making machine with high accuracy and reproducibility.
