Forming Fabric Tensioning and Guiding

The forming section can contain one or more fabric loops, and each loop has its own set of support rolls and cleaning showers. The purpose of a forming fabric is to dewater and support the sheet as it forms, and carry the formed sheet to the next section of the paper machine. The purpose of the tensioning and guiding systems is to keep the fabric running at the proper tension and centered on the machine. This module will discuss the purpose and operation of forming fabric tensioning and guiding systems.
