  • Description: Xerium is the company that first introduced the synthetic forming fabric, then the X-Weave or extra-chute technology and then the revolutionary Huytexx, the first SSB forming fabric. SSB is now 10 years old and the demands and requirements of the papermakers increased in recent years. The clear trend in forming fabric development was towards finer and finer fabric types. That means finer diameters and higher yarn densities in warp and weft. To meet new challenges the modern forming fabric concept should be more accommodating regarding different headbox consistencies and wider basis weight ranges. Achieving these aggressive objectives with decade-old technology becomes increasingly difficult given the higher demands in the paper industry. Forming fabric performance is mainly defined by its behavior in the initial fabric drainage section of the paper machine. By thinking out of the box, development engineers shifted the focus from the fabric structure to a specially formed drainage channel, which in conjunction with the paper side topography, paves the way to optimum sheet formation.
