Graphic Papers / Cardboard

SSB forming fabric woven using 24 harness technology, which allows 6 shaft machine side construction to promote improved life potential. Available with 2 or 3 shaft paper side construction and 3:2, 2:1 or 1:1 weft ratio. Duralon, a patented machine-side weft material, is also available in Primobond designs to further improve life potential and reduce power consumption. The Primobond family has options in HD, F, SF or XF depending upon application or paper grade. The XF design benefits from Stabilon high modules machine direction yarns which promote high FSI without compromise to dimensional stability. A Primobond specification should be available to clothe all former types making all paper grades.

Double layer fabrics in 8- or 16- shaft construction with optional extra weft technology on the paper side. Duralon, the patented machine side weft material, is also available as an option to promote increased life potential and reduced energy consumption. Primoplan fabrics can clothe all former types making all papergrades.

Atrojet is  the unique press felt with a highly flexible, adaptable multiaxial non-woven module:

• Highly flexible and adaptable yarn content.
• Tailor-made felt designs – precise and uniform.
• Enables a variety of surfaces.
• Extremely fine or coarse open designs.
• High level of dewatering and uniform CD profiles.
• Improved void volume retention and efficient cleaning.
• High strength for an economic service life.

The base of Atrocross is composed of non-woven substrate layers positioned flat on top of one another both in the cross-direction and in the machine direction. The fast start and the good dewatering of Atrocross can be explained by the combination of three significant constructional features:

1. The start-up density is virtually identical to the operating density.
2. The paper-side CD yarns (“Micro Foils”) immediately scoop up high volumes of water into the inside of the felt.
3. The roll-side MD yarns encourage rapid transfer of water through the felt.

Atrocross - non-woven technology for high-speed machines producing printing and writing paper grades - "the" standard for shoe presses. Different designs cater for different application requirements by adjustments to the modular structure / construction.

Atromaxx – the multiaxial module concept from Heimbach distinguishes itself by the selected combination of warp knitted and woven single base layers adapted to the specific demands of press configuration and paper grade. The wide range of combination possibilities provided by the modular construction technique enables fine adjustment to individual positions. Atromaxx is also available with seam.

Atronet was founded upon the proven atrocross concept. A compression layer is located between support structures to provide superior dewatering performance over the full felt lifetime. CD moisture profiles are very consistent with atronet, and the "money triangles" at both the beginning and end phases of felt life are effectively eliminated.

The product is specifically adapted for application on high-speed machines producing graphic and lightweight packaging papers.

Atroplan - woven press felt for all positions and press configurations. Ideal application for paper and board grades sensitive to marking, as well as for bulk print paper grades - for medium to high speed from Pick-up up to free standing presses. Atroplan is also available with seam.

High and continuous dimension stability; combination of single or multi layer base weaves for machines with the highest demands for handling large volumes of water and high press loads. Suitable for all paper grades.

Transferbelts are a well established means for sheet transfer between press and dryer sections. In order to develop a new concept for transferbelts, Heimbach made use of the known strengths and weaknesses of products already in use in these positions and created the best possible design from that information.

Webmover can be described as a „transportbelt in the conventional sense without dewatering function“. Its patented porous, smooth surface with special topographical features guarantees trouble free sheet transfer, excellent sheet support and problem free sheet separation to the dryer section. Due to the very uniform material distribution in the cross section of the Webmover any water up take has minimal influence on its dimensions which provides the papermaker with extra security regarding runnability. 

In general it can be said that the installation of transferbelts provides an ideal solution for the complete closing of open draws and the optimisation of sheet control.

Our single-layer fabric benefits from excellent dimensional stability as well as an extremely high resistance to stretching so that even modern high speed machines with their short fabric lengths can be optimally clothed. The very low internal void volume of these designs significantly reduces water carry. 

In the case of SECOPLAN.X made of 100% flat monofilament we have two identical surfaces. This provides the fabric with a large abrasion capacity on paper and machine side. In the seaming area every second filament is protected which means an increased lifetime can be expected.

The SECOPLAN.A design made of 100% monofilaments also possesses a very fine paper side for ideal heat transfer. The open machine side helps provide increased evaporation.

Secolink.SF is the thinnest spiral fabric available on the market. Thanks to its flat monofilament spirals it stands out due to a very large contact area and a fine, homogenous topography as well as a uniform seam area. The design is especially suited to marking-sensitive positions on paper machines producing fine paper grades, as well as for positions after coating stations.
