Press Sections
PRESS SECTIONS This part of a paper machine is located between the fourdrinier and the dryer section. Water is removed from the wet web by passing it between rolls and felts while applying a combination of pressure and vacuum. Mecfab has unparalleled experience with completely new press sections, separate replacement components and rebuilds.
Hydro ENTANGLING UNIT
HYDRO ENTANGLING UNIT The Mecfab hydro-entangling unit consists in a mild steel framing completely pre-assembled in out shop. We can supply all various equipments added to the unit, such as the vacuum boxes, showers, manifold and rolls. We then break down the pre-assembled unit for transportation. A HET unit can accept a dry or wet formed continuous web. The HET system can be used on a single layer or dual layer web. After the web has been hydroentangled, it can be further treated by pressing, drying, and winding. The hydroentanglement process can impart textile-like properties to a nonwoven web (softness, drape and bulk) as well increase the strength and elongation of the web. Mecfab works in partnership with Glens Falls Inteweb on the production and conception of many specialized equipment machines.
Front Lift
FRONT LIFT FOURDRINIER Fourdrinier framework incorporating the use of lifting beams attached to the tending side. These beams project into the aisle to raise the frame off the removable blocks, thus permitting the draping of the wire. The lifting beams are removable or pivoting.
