Stock preparation

Pulp is slushed, cleaned and screened before it reaches the machine. Clean, well-screened stock at a steady consistency is where a good sheet starts.

  • UI 016Pressure Screen Basket
  • UI 017Complete Pressure Screen
  • UI 018Rotor
  • UI 013Electronic Consistency Transmitter & Control

Approach flow

Thick stock is metered into the approach flow and delivered to the headbox. Steady flow here means a steady basis weight on the reel.

  • UI 012Motorized Basis Weight Control Valve System

Forming

The sheet forms and drains on the wire. The fabric decides drainage, fibre support and how long the wire lasts on the machine.

  • UI 021Forming Fabric, Synthetic Wire single layer, 4, 5 and 8 shaft
  • UI 014Bellow Type Auto Guide keeps the wire tracking straight

Press

Press felts carry the sheet through the nips and squeeze the water out. Every point of dryness gained here is steam saved in the dryers.

  • UI 020Press Felt
  • UI 014Bellow Type Auto Guide keeps the felts aligned

Dryer

Steam-heated cylinders dry the sheet while the dryer fabric holds it against them. Steam control and fabric permeability set the drying rate.

  • UI 019Spiral Link Dryer Fabric / Dryer Screen spiral linked and monofilament
  • UI 011Motorized Steam Control Valve

Reel & quality lab

Samples from each reel go to the quality lab, where strength, sizing and GSM are checked against the grade before dispatch.

We stay after the sale

The right equipment only works if it fits your machine. We help at every stage, from choosing it to keeping it running.

  1. Selection & sizing

    Share your machine speed, grade and furnish. We recommend the valve size, fabric design or instrument that suits it.

  2. Installation & commissioning

    We install, calibrate and hand over, so the equipment performs on your machine and not just on its data sheet.

  3. Maintenance guidance

    Practical advice when something changes on the machine, from people who know the equipment.

  4. Spare parts

    Spares for what we supply, so a worn part does not hold up production.

Built on technical reliability.

Unique Imports supplies specialised equipment, testing instruments, process control systems and industrial fabrics to the paper industry. Our goal is to help mills improve consistency, efficiency and product quality, with dependable products and responsive service.

Because our range covers the whole mill, one call can sort out a valve on the approach flow, a felt for the press and a tester for the lab.
