Experience of Seventeen Compact Wet End Systems

  • Published : 2002.12.01

Abstract

Ten years ago most papermakers were convinced that a system needs to be voluminous and heavy for controllability and stability. In order to improve grade changing dynamics, the author of this paper began developing a compact papermachine wet end. The results have proven that compactness is beneficial even more broadly. Quoting Voith$^1$the trend is now the opposite - the systematic collecting and direct feeding of the individual water flows back into the system". In its gasless form this is actually covered by a POM Technology Patent.tent.
