Fourdrinier board

A Fourdrinier board is a continuous conveyor belt system used in paper manufacturing. It forms the initial sheet by evenly distributing a mixture of pulp and water across a moving mesh. As the water drains away, the fibers bond together, creating a wet, preliminary sheet of paper. The process allows for large-scale, efficient production of paper products, with the dried and pressed sheet further processed for finishing. The Fourdrinier system is essential for producing consistent, high-quality paper at industrial speeds.
