A machine used in making paper; -- so named from an early inventor of improvements in this class of machinery.
Name given to the wet-end (or forming table) of the type of paper machine invented by Nicholas-Louis Robert, financed by Messrs. Henry & Seamy Fourdrinier. It is usually applied to an entire modern paper machine, including the dryer end, which however, was not part of the first paper machines.
name applied to the papermachine after the Fourdrinier brothers who financed its early development. It produces a continuous web of paper and was developed by Bryan Donkin from the original invention of Nicholas-Louis Robert.
Named after its inventor, the Fourdrinier papermaking machine is structured on a continuously moving wire belt onto which a watery slurry of pulp is poured. As the wire moves, the water is drained off and pressed out, and the paper is then dried.
The explanation of the French financiers of the inventor (Louis Robert) of the equipment to produce a continuous web of paper. The term used to describe the most common type of modern papermaking machine. Also, the term used to describe the section of the papermaking machine which is a continuous “wire” or belt screen, through which the first removal of water occurs, as the result of gravity, suction, and hydraulic forces. The fourdrinier section or wire is the point of formation of the web of paper.
The standard type of machine on which paper is made at high speed in a continuous web. Sheets produced in this way are called 'machinemade'.
The formal name for a papermaking machine that forms a continuous web of paper on a moving wire screen. The vast majority of paper manufactured in this country is made on Fourdrinier machines.
A paper machine developed by Louis Robert and financed by Henry and Sealy Fourdrinier that produces a continuous web of paper; also the term for the section of the paper machine which is a continuous "wire" or belt screen, through which the first removal of water occurs. The point of formation.
A machine with a copper wire screen that receives the pulp slurry in the paper making process which will become the final paper sheet.
Forming section of the paper machine, where a pulp slurry is formed into a mat of paper. This section contains the head box where the slurry is forced out onto a moving plastic wire through which water drains. The wire is supported by rolls and flat foil boxes, which aid in de-watering the slurry into a fiber mat. Free Sheet - Paper made from cooked wood fibers mixed with chemicals and washed free of impurities, as compared to groundwood paper. Also called woodfree paper. French Fold - A sheet which printed on one side only, folded with two right angle folds to form a four page uncut section. Full Measure - A line set to the entire line length. Full point - A full stop. Full-range Halftone - Halftone ranging from 0 percent coverage in its highlights to 100 percent coverage in its shadows. Full-scale Black - Black separation made to have dots throughout the entire tonal range of the image, as compared to half-scale black and skeleton black. Also called full-range black. Fully Saturate - Photographer term for rich color.
