Voith Fabric Launches Innovations in Forming Lines

Voith fabrics recently introduced the MultiForm V series. Voith Fabrics, in close cooperation with Voith Paper's Other divisions, has successfully developed a new generation of multi-layered forming fabrics designed to meet the requirements of today's advanced board and packaging machines.

“MultiForm V-Series fabrics focus on improving the abrasion resistance of the mesh while maintaining a uniform web surface for good forming and retention.” said Howard Jones, who is responsible for Voith Fabric, Cardboard and Wrapping Paper Forming Mesh. This design allows for a wide selection of weft thread diameters at the wear surface without affecting the dewatering characteristics and thus improves wear resistance, thus increasing the life of the forming wire.

The technical feature of MultiForm V is a three-layer net that is self-connected by warp threads, preventing the internal wear of the forming wire. Since the weft is not connected in the transverse direction, the forming wire is dehydrated more evenly and kept clean for a long period of time. Tests have shown that MultiForm V effectively improves fiber support and improves the flatness of the paper web through a plain weaved surface. This innovative technology has the highest dewatering capacity and thus meets the requirements of today's high-speed grid machines.

“The new design of Voith Fabrics, MultiForm V, completely meets our requirements with regard to formability, retention and fabric life.” said Henning Dippel, production manager for paper machine No. 6 at the Tecnokarton Mayen paper mill in Germany. “MultiForm V The design, so that we have the running problem that the formation of the common fiber and water to prevent the formation of the net.

MultiForm V has successfully developed a combination of Voith fabrics and Voith Paper's R&D department. The complementary resources sharing technologies of the two groups under the same group will further promote the development of papermaking technology.

“This is a sign of a papermaking field, and we will further improve with high quality and high efficiency,” said Andeas Wei, Manager of Business Development, Cardboard Packaging Department (Eurasia). “The MultiForm V Series is the perfect combination of technologies in various fields. ”

Research and development of MultiForm V series products in Europe and the United States have performed exceptionally well in the Asian market. Now MultiForm V series, one of the SSB three-layer forming nets, can be produced locally on Voith fabric Kunshan.
