Wire speed < 12 fpm : 1.5 – 2.0 seconds multiply forming length in feet by 40 (1.5 sec) or 30 (2 sec) to determine M/c speed that can be ed conventional drainage table. Wire speed > 1200 fpm : 1.0 seconds. Multiply forming length by 60 to obtain M/c speed potential. 42 lb. Liner : 1.25 seconds. Multiply forming length by 48 to obtain M/c speed potential.

51) CALCULATION OF LENGTH OF BELT The percentage of power transmission through pulley and belt largely depends on the length of belts. If the belt is tight the pulley will also run tightly. Its bush bearings shall also worn out easily. On the other hand if length of a belt is in excess of the need, it will slip frequently and result in loss of power. In order to determine the right length of belt, the following formula are applied. Indications L= C= D= d=

56) VACUUM PLI K N/M (SUCTION ROLLS) Suction rolls present a problem in that part of the core bending or distortion load is the result of the application of vacuum. This can be addressed either by increasing the PLI KN/M to compensate for the vacuum or by sealing off the section box area with plastic and applying an amount of vacuum equal to that normally run in the roll. If the increased PLI KN/M method is used, the original equipment supplier should be ed to obtain the correct amount to be used. If this information is not readily available, the incremental PLI KN/M addition can be approximated by using the following formula : 35 SANTOSH SWAR

Vacuum PLI KN/M = 0.4912 x W x V x F Where
