No matter what forming section! No matter what paper grade! No matter what machine! With Primoselect Heimbach offers you an innovative forming fabric, which combines optimum drainage with the best runability. The foundation for this is an innovative weave concept, which is unique on the market.

Primoselect paves the way for unexpected flexibility: the special weaving pattern allows options to suit your specific wishes.  You can choose between:

• maximum dewatering capacity
• less energy consumption
• increased productivity
• longer lifetime

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 – Heading for new shores – with a perfect felt design

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.

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.

High sheet dryness after the shoe press is a key factor to achieve a high machine speed and efficiency. Additionally, many paper quality parameters can be influenced by the shoe press concept and the shoe press belt technology. The combination and interaction of the advanced press felt and shoe press belt technology can be the key success factor, when the runnability of the paper machine are tuned to maximum efficiency.

• Valuable selection of high-quality polyurethanes, unique embedded reinforcement structures.
• Excellent void volume retention of the groves.
• Highest resistance to cross machine direction and crack formation.
• Excellent resilience to chemicals and temperatures.

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.
