Many papermaking machines are based on the principles of the Fourdrinier Paper Machine, which uses a specially woven plastic fabric mesh conveyor belt in the forming section, where a slurry of fibre (usually wood or other vegetable fibres) is drained to create a continuous paper web. After the forming section the wet web passes through a press section to squeeze out excess water, then the pressed web passes through a heated drying section.
Fourdrinier Paper machine have four distinct operational sections:
Forming section, commonly called the wet end, is where the slurry of fibres filters out fluid a continuous fabric loop to form a wet web of fibre.
Press section where the wet fibre web passes between large rolls loaded under high pressure to squeeze out as much water as possible.
Drying section, where the pressed sheet passes partly around, in a serpentine manner, a series of steam heated drying cylinders. Drying removes the water content down to a level of about 6%, where it will remain at typical indoor atmospheric conditions.
Calender section where the dried paper is smoothened under high loading and pressure. Only one nip is necessary in order to hold the sheet, which shrinks through the drying section and is held in tension between the press section (or breaker stack if used) and the calender. Extra nips give more smoothing but at some expense to paper strength.
Our Fourdrinier paper machine is a high-efficiency paper making machine designed for the continuous production of high-quality cultural paper, packaging paper, kraft paper, fluting paper, and specialty grades. With advanced forming, pressing, drying, and finishing technologies, the machine ensures excellent sheet formation, uniform fiber distribution, and stable moisture profiles across the entire web.
Engineered for modern paper mills, the Fourdrinier paper machine delivers high speed, low energy consumption, and outstanding operational reliability—making it one of the most widely used paper production lines in the global paper industry.
