Polyester Forming Fabrics are high-strength synthetic fabrics used in the forming section of paper machines. Their primary function is to support pulp, facilitate dewatering, and form wet paper sheets, making them an indispensable key component in the papermaking process.
Polyester Forming Fabrics for Paper Machines
The polyester forming fabrics are mainly made of polyester monofilament, divided into single-layer, 1.5-layer, double-layer,2.5-layer, and 3 -3-layer. It is a forming fabric, an important piece of equipment on a papermaking machine and is a device for forming.
Shijiazhuang Yarns Technology Co., Ltd., founded in 1984, specializes in the production of polyester forming fabrics that are widely used in modern papermaking machines. With over 10 years of professional experience in monofilament and industrial mesh production, our forming fabrics are engineered with high-quality polyester monofilament and reinforced with nylon where required. This ensures outstanding wear resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, and a long service life, which helps reduce replacement frequency and operating costs.
Our polyester forming fabrics are divided into several types, depending on the weaving structure and application:
4-shed and 5-shed single-layer fabrics – Standard papermaking forming fabrics, suitable for cultural paper, printing paper, packing paper, and newsprint. Compatible with common Fourdrinier paper machines.
8-shed single-layer fabric – Designed for packaging grades requiring high strength such as kraft paper, cardboard, and corrugated paper.
8-shed double-layer fabric – Used in printing papers (dictionary paper, offset printing paper, newsprint), as well as tissue paper and board paper pulp layers. Suitable for medium and high-speed paper machines.
16-shed 2.5-layer fabric – Provides excellent sheet formation, widely applied in cigarette paper, aluminum foil backing paper, coated paper, and toilet tissue production.
Triple-layer SSB forming fabric – Advanced design with separate forming and wear sides. Large yarns on the wear side improve stability and durability, while fine yarns on the sheet side enhance fiber retention, drainage, and paper quality.
Multi-shed three-layer SSB forming fabrics – For high-speed papermaking machines producing high-grade printing paper, wrapping paper, and tissue paper.
