Description

This is the simplest forming fabric and is available in 4 different following varieties:

2shaft plain weave (one up one down) design is normally used on extractor mould and for various applications, effluent treatment plants, sludge dewatering machines etc.

3 shaft (one up two down) is used for sludge dewatering, washer and bleacher.

4shaft (one up three down) is simplest in construction as it imparts less wire marking and it is dominated by warp yarns. This design is commonly used in manufacture of all varieties of paper grade.

5 shaft (one up four down) this design has more internal void volume, more drainage capacity. This design find more usage in Kraft and tissue making and writing /printing machines where more drainage is required.

Application Industry :		Paper & Pulp Industry

Type:		2,3,4,5-shaft design

PLAIN

2-Shaft Plain Weave (one up one down) is the most simple design in forming fabric. Most commonly used in pulp sheet, sludge de-watering, straw board, extractor mould, pulp washer, bleacher, etc.

FEATURES :

	Simple construction
	High fiber support index
	Square mesh
	Good drainage
	Better sheet release

BENEFITS :

	Good retention
	Good drainage

Two Shed Design

Suitable for Pulp Mill application (Woven Seam).

Can be supplied in endless, open ended and pin / clipper / loop seams.

Specifications

Single Layer- 2 Shaft
Properties	Range
Mesh per cm	7-18
Count per cm	7-10
Pattern Description	2 Shaft single layer
Caliper	0.90 - 1.6
Air permeability (CFM)	350 - 500

3-SHAFT

This is a 3-Shaft Twill Weave (one up two down) design. This design is normally used for various filtration purpose, effluent treatment plant, pulp sheet manufacturing, sludge
de-watering, washers, bleachers, etc.

FEATURES :

	Most Simple in construction
	Good sheet support
	High air permeability
	Good drainability

BENEFITS :

	High drainage capacity
	Higher wear side filament offers high life potentials
	Easy cleanability

Three Shed Design

Available in Twill & Herring bone pattern.

More dimensionally stable then Two Shed design.

Ideally suitable for Belt press, Pulp mill & E.T.P

Can be supplied in endless (Woven Seams), open ended and pin / clipper / loop seams.

Count per cm	6 - 7
Pattern Description	3 Shaft single layer
Caliper	1.6 - 1.8
Fiber support index	34 - 58
Air permeability (CFM)	350 - 450

4-SHAFT

This is woven in 4-Shaft construction (one up three down) simple in construction, dominated by warp yarns. This design is commonly used in manufacturing all varities of paper grades.

FEATURES :

	Most Simple in construction
	Dominated by warp yarns
	Available in finer and closer varieties
	Available both as warp and weft runner

BENEFITS :

	Excellent drainage capacity
	Restricts wire mark
	Moderate retention

Four Shed Design

Mesh available from 16/cm to 30/cm.

Can be supplied in various combinations of warp (MD) yarns and welt (CD) yarns diameters.

Specially suitable for writing printing papers where empahsis is on the formation of paper and also in coarseness. It is widely used in Liner Board, Pulp Board etc.

Single Layer-4 Shaft
Properties	Range
Mesh per cm	10 - 11
Count per cm	14 - 22
Pattern Description	4 Shaft single layer
Caliper	0.5 - 1
Fiber support index	50 - 85
Air permeability (CFM)	350 - 550

5-SHAFT

5-Shaft (one up four down) design has more internal void volume, more drainage capacity. This design is widely used in manufacturing writing / printing, kraft, tissue, newsprint, etc.

FEATURE :

	Simple in construction
	Increased void volume over 4-shed
	High volume of wear side material thus longer life
	Uniform hole size

BENEFITS :

	Offers better drainage than 4-shaft
	Good fiber support / retention
	Good sheet release
	Good life potential.

Five Shed Design

Mesh available from 22/cm to 30/cm

Can be supplied in various combinations of warp (MD) yarns and weft (CD) yarns diameters..
