Multi Platform for Board and Packaging
The board and packaging industry has come a long way since the days of plain brown boxboard and kraft paper. Products are more diversified, with 80 percent of board production used for packaging. New possibilities are emerging for raw materials, as well as packaging shape and color. Today’s consumers expect boxes that are colorful and richly designed, as well as strong, light weight, functional and environmentally friendly. With new raw materials, coatings, calendering and machine clothing advancements, papermakers can enhance their production process to further expand product quality
MultiForm SeriesTo achieve demands for both strength and aesthetics, high-quality board and packaging production requires specially designed forming fabrics. Voith Paper Fabrics has placed great emphasis on R&D for this fabric family, and the results are evident. The MultiForm range of fabrics offers better drainage, high fiber retention and improved formation, while maintaining the special needs of this unique market sector.

Cell Platform for Pulp Machines
Whether the process is chemical, semi-chemical, mechanical or waste paper, the pulping process requires a delicate balance of stock consistency, temperature control, pH, mechanical and chemical attrition and dwell time. Pulping is, after all, the first phase of papermaking where graphic paper, board and tissue are born. Pulp mills are challenging their suppliers to provide progressive technologies to improve machine efficiency, thereby increasing production.
CellForm SerieCellForm forming fabrics from Voith provide excellent dewatering rates, higher stability and maximum support points, resulting in a better pulp delivered to the press section. Extended life fabrics with a higher resistance to chemical atack that result in savings to our costumer’s pocket. The first step in any successful sequence is important, because you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
