W&F’s drainage meter measures slurry thickness and logs drainage rates and activity. This helps record the rate and type of drainage on the table, and enables us to compare the results of changes to the table and fabric design. 

Drainage Analysis

The powerful strobing light effect provides a clearer view of forming and drainage activity on your table, and assists in seeing table changes. It also helps in identifying places where fabric is ‘slipping’ on the rolls.

Stroboscopic Analysis

Wet-End Table Status Analysis
 

• Load distribution analysis.
• Foil/suction box top condition analysis.
• Shower position analysis.

This helps determine the effects of changes in the table and fabric design and also provides advance information for table upkeep for fabric life optimization.

This is done in our laboratory. The analysis reveals possible causes of fabric wear (drag, creep, localized wear etc.) and helps identify sources of damage. Often, this becomes a basis for fabric and table design improvements.

Fabric Analysis

Tensiometer

This is an instrument developed by us for measuring fabric tension on the paper machine. Maintaining correct fabric tension is critical to obtaining optimum fabric life.

Tensio Meter

Our Technical staff organizes and conducts training sessions at your site covering aspects of papermaking as well as fabric application/design.
