Crescent Former Tissue Machine

A: The crescent formeruses a forming surface which is curved, which is known as a crescent roll, which permits the better formation of fibers and tissue properties. This construction is very effective soft and high-quality cruciac toilet paper or tissue paper. 

A: The crescent former technology was invented in 1960 in making soft tissue papers which improved some older methods on tissue making. After that it was incorporated to many paper producers due to its amazing performance and productivity of quality tissue papers. 

A: Crescent formers are most typically designed specifically for making tissue paper, however some types that are engineered in a different way can make thin paperboard. Other kinds of paper making machines are normally used for heavier grades of paperboard.

A: The primary components of a crescent former are the headbox which delivers the fiber suspension and the forming section with the crescent roll, as well as the press felt for subsequent water extraction, the Yankee dryer with the hoods, and different types of pumps and vacuum devices for water extraction and sheet control. 

A: With the efficient removal of water through gravity, suction, and pressing, crescent formers achieve high speed productin. Rapid dewatering and drying is made possible when combined with a Yankee dryer resulting in production speeds of 2000 meters per minute and more. 

A: The improvements in softness, increased bulk, as well as more stretchable properties of the produced tissue, have been observed by using crescent formers for the production of toilet paper. Along with these advantages, the toilet paper can be produced with a superior quality at high efficiency and stability in the production process.

A: The most advanced crescent formers are able to produce between two and four layers of tissue at once. These layers are combined to manufacture multi-ply tissues, and additional layers can be used to improve softness, strength, and absorbency. 

A: The crescent former is a more modern invention than the tissue machine, the first continuous paper making was developed by Louis Robert in 1798. This was the first of many innovations in the technology of manufacturing paper which followed, including the tissue machine with crescent former.
