Producers of board and packaging face relentless pressure to increase output, control costs and deliver consistent sheet quality at higher speeds. From strength and stiffness targets to energy savings and felt life, every improvement matters – especially in the forming and press sections.

ANDRITZ fabrics are engineered to meet the unique challenges of board and packaging grades, providing high water handling, smooth runnability, fast start-ups and long-lasting performance. Whether you're facing demanding furnishes or high-speed drying profiles, our solutions are built to deliver results.

Advanced forming fabric for superior drainage and retention

Our most advanced forming fabric for board and packaging applications, TransForm B EDC uses patented Engineered Drainage Channels (EDC) to deliver controlled dewatering at initial sheet formation. The 2:3 warp design enables greater fiber support, reduced energy consumption and better sheet quality across a wider operating window.

With less water carry, improved retention and longer fabric life, mills report measurable savings in steam usage, fiber costs and retention aids – all while achieving drier sheets into the press.

Premium press felt with patented seam technology

StrataPress B SX is a triple-layer, single-base seam felt that combines high void volume with exceptional seam integrity. Its unique base structure improves nip dewatering and compressibility, while the intrawoven seam design offers safer installation, fewer breaks and virtually no seam marking.

Designed specifically for board and packaging applications, this felt increases water removal, boosts reel speeds, extends felt life and reduces downtime – all without compromising sheet consistency.
