1.5 Layer Forming Fabric

1.5 Layer Forming Fabric

The 1.5 layer forming fabric is actually a 5-shed single layer fabric that has been modified to have extra yarns, which provide it with the same properties as a double layer fabric.

The 1.5 layer is easy to clean, increases sheet release and retention, and with the extra fabric, provides excellent drainage.

Description

The 1.5 layer forming fabric is actually a 5-shed single layer fabric that has been modified to have extra yarns, which provide it with the same properties as a double layer fabric.

The 1.5 layer is easy to clean, increases sheet release and retention, and with the extra fabric, provides excellent drainage.

Structure

Polyester 1.5 layer forming fabrics are woven in 10 shed design with similar structure of double layer forming fabrics, used mainly in the production of brown paper grades (board papers, liner & corrugated papers).

Advantages

Easier to clean, better paper sheet release, and faster drainage than double-layer forming fabrics.

Better pulp fiber support than single-layer forming fabrics.

Longer life potential and better dimensional stability.
