Pilot paper and wet laid nonwoven machines Scope This Technical
Information Paper (TIP) contains information on pilot paper and
wet-laid nonwoven machines used for contract, cooperative,
internal, and/or customer service research and product development.
Missing are confidential, restricted-use, and private pilot
machines. The tables that follow describe the characteristics and
general capabilities of each pilot machine. The work group has made
every effort to find and list machines that qualify for the TIP.
Data is provided by the listed site and not independently verified
by the work group. A companion TIP is 0502-20 “Catalog of Stock
Preparation Pilot Plants.”
Table 1 Quick View – company, number, machine speed, width,
basis weight, grades and location Table 2 Paper Machine Details –
type, press section, dryers, surface treatment, calendar Table 3
Contact Information and Notes – name, phone, email, and website
address
Safety precautions Safety requirements will be specific to each
pilot plant site and should be reviewed before any work begins.
Content Survey results are shown on the following pages. SI units
are used in this TIP. NOTE 1:
Convert mm to inches by multiplying mm by 0.03937 Convert meters
per minute to feet per minute by multiplying m/min by 3.281 Convert
grams per square meter to lb/3,300 ft² ream by multiplying g/m2 by
0.6756 NOTE 2: Any facility with a pilot paper machine wishing to
be listed or deleted should send the appropriate information
to the Standards Department at TAPPI, referencing TIP 0502-16.
