Advanced ex-press sheet management for improved quality and paper machine performance.


On most paper machines, very little is either measured or controlled between the forming section and ex-press--especially when one considers that the majority of sheet characteristics are born in this part of the process. For example, nearly half the water within the sheet is mechanically removed between these two points, with virtually no process visibility available to optimize optimize - optimisation  this part of manufacture. This article explores why moisture moisture

 measurement following the press section represents a sound strategic starting place for correcting this problem, and how a new moisture measurement system can help meet measurement and control goals. (This is the full-text version of the edited ed·it
