The OptiForm™ stock activity generation and control system is the most flexible and cost effective stock
activity generation control system on the market today.
Most Flexible
A variety of different inserts can be used to produce the correct type of stock activity in the correct location
of your forming process. The design of the inserts determines the frequency that the stock gets pulsed at along
with how much water gets introduced back into the sheet.
The inserts are also changeable on-the-run to accommodate different machine speeds and changes in your fiber
furnish.
Cost Effective
A UHMW polyethylene base board is designed to slide onto the existing t-bars on any existing drainage structure.
This base structure experiences little wear since all of the angled surfaces are the changeable inserts themselves.
As the inserts wear they are replaced at a cost much lower than traditional stock activity generating foil blades
due to a minimal amount of material and simple design.
The Standard insert is the most powerful insert, this is because it has the longest pulse and
a very abrupt trailing angle. The trailing angle also forces water back into the sheet. This insert is very
beneficial for slower speeds and floccy air pad type headboxes. This insert is also targeted more for the
forming board.
The MultiPulse insert produces a higher pulse frequency resulting in smaller eddy currents
which complement a small fiber furnish and hydraulic headboxes. This insert also forces a small amount of
water back into the sheet. It is suited for the forming board and gravity foil sections.
The Agitator insert provides a gentler pulse than the Angle or MultiPulse inserts due to its
gradual trailing angle. This insert also forces the least amount of water back into the sheet which is
beneficial for later sections of the table where disrupting the wire side of the sheet may have negative effects.
