Forming fabric production processes are only efficient when all components function perfectly. The same applies to papermaking. The interaction of the fabric parameters that relate to drainage, sheet formation and paper quality are especially important.

The fabric's tension and calliper profile are important parameters when it comes to defining the drainage and formation process. These parameters can be closely examined on forming fabrics already installed on operating paper machines using a Fabric Scanning Profiler (FSP), the new, uniquely configured measuring instrument designed by Huyck.Wangner's SeamTech division. The Fabric Scanning Profiler provides precise information about the quality and runnability of your forming fabric, which is important data needed to optimize your processes.
It includes a module to measure permeability that gives new details about the current condition of the fabric on the machine. Ease of use and wireless data download capability complete the comprehensive performance features of the FSP.

DRAGON - software for analyzing drainage performance and sheet formation in the wire section. Data are evaluated by comparing measured data in the wire section with process parameters or machine specifications and the results are used to define optimization steps and troubleshoot sources of problems.
NDC Drainage Profiler - measurement process to establish suspension thickness online and to check the drainage distribution/capacity of the various elements.
Spot stroboscope with video documentation - visualization of fabric movements and process details that cannot be detected by the human eye. Digital output provided for associated service reports.
