“Our board and packaging customers continuously demand
improvements in uptime efficiency and reduced operating costs while
delivering higher product quality at maximum output,” said Bill
Butterfield, EVP and CTO of Xerium. “Utilizing new proprietary
polymers and structural designs, our new TransForm line is already
helping customers reduce energy consumption by more than 15 percent
while extending fabric life between 15 and 25 percent.”
Representing half of the global tonnage produced, paperboard and
packaging grades continue to grow globally compared to other paper
grades. TransForm forming fabrics have been tailor-made for every
type of board and packaging former: fourdriniers, twin wire
formers, top formers, gap formers, and multiply formers.
“We trialed these new TransForm products in select board and
packaging mills with excellent results of improved drainage rates
and sheet quality. The performance continues to exceed our
customers’ expectations,” adds Butterfield.
TransForm technology is applicable for machines producing:
paperboard, containerboard, fluting/corrugating, linerboard, kraft
bag, liquid packaging board, food and beverage containers, bleach
board, white top paperboard, boxboard, and other related
subgrades.
