Air permeability is the most critical specification for forming and dryer fabrics. Learn how CFM values affect dewatering, drying rates, and paper quality across different paper grades.
Forming-fabric air permeability must be selected by construction, test method, furnish, drainage, vacuum, speed and fiber-support requirements—not a universal grade table.
Select a forming fabric from paper grade, furnish, machine position, speed, drainage, sheet support and the measured operating baseline—not from one universal structure or permeability value.
A comprehensive guide to selecting forming fabrics based on paper grade and machine speed.
Five practical checks for selecting paper machine clothing from machine position, furnish, operating data, baseline performance and measured total cost.
Everything you need to know about paper machine clothing (PMC): forming fabrics, dryer fabrics, and press felts. Learn how each component works together in the papermaking process.
A specialized guide for tissue producers on forming fabric selection and optimization. Covers low-basis-weight sheet support and dewatering requirements for 14–22 gsm tissue grades.
A practical framework for testing whether forming, press or dryer fabrics constrain paper machine speed, using controlled trials and production data instead of assumed gains.
Single layer: one set MD+CD yarns, best drainage (500-800 CFM), lowest FSI (50-80), for low-speed heavy grades. Double layer: two CD yarn sets, FSI 80-120, CFM 400-650, mid-speed workhorse. Triple lay
Tissue (<40 gsm)→70-95 threads/cm. Culture (40-120 gsm)→50-70. Packaging (80-200 gsm)→35-55. Heavy-weight (200-400+ gsm)→25-40. Finer mesh = better fiber support but lower drainage. The right mesh is
Replace a forming fabric from combined condition, sheet-quality, drainage, runnability and economic evidence rather than one universal percentage threshold.
Frequent dryer fabric replacement (every 6 months) was causing excessive maintenance costs and production downtime. The existing flat yarn fabric showed premature edge wear and uneven air permeability
The customer experienced frequent sheet breaks (5 per day) and short fabric service life (45 days) on their high-speed tissue machine. The existing SSB forming fabric could not maintain stable dewater
During sustained high-speed operation above 1,800 m/min, the existing forming fabric exhibited progressive wire marking and accelerated surface wear. The extremely short forming window (approximately
