Fourdrinier Subdomain (1st level):  Papermaking Subdomain (2nd level):  Paper web manufacture Subdomain (3rd level):  Sheet formation Grammatical category:  Simple term Grammar notes:  Countable Variant of:  Fourdrinier table Type of variant:  Short form Context:  Formation improves when a dandy roll is used with a fourdrinier, but a more striking improvement is made when a fourdrinier is converted to a hybrid former. Then, the stock enters a wire nip partly drained at about 2% average consistency, having been subject to MD shear at the entrance. As stock is pulled in against the higher pressure between the curved fabrics, a shearing and rolling action occurs which is effective in dispersing floes. The subsequent more rapid drainage reduces the extent of re-flocculation and helps to freeze the dispersed structure. Context source:  EN 48 Attestation:  2
