Paper Machines

A Paper Machine is used in the Pulp and Paper industry to create paper in large quantities at high speed.

Modern Paper Machines are based on the principles of the Fourdrinier Machine, which uses a moving woven mesh to create a continuous paper web by filtering out the fibres held in a paper stock and producing a continuously moving wet mat of fibre.
This is dried in the machine to produce a strong paper web.

Paper machines have at least six distinct operational sections: Forming section, Press section, Drying section, Size Press section, Calender section and Reel section.
