Product Introduction of the Hand Sheet Former 300mm
Our Automatic Hand Sheet Formeris designed for papermaking laboratories to form pulp into φ300 paper samples efficiently. Specifically, it uses vacuum, heating, and drying technology to quickly produce laboratory paper sheets for subsequent physical property testing. In addition, it can perform pulp washing and concentration, further enhancing its versatility in laboratory operations.
Our Automatic Hand Sheet Former 300mm enables rapid sheeting, as it combines vacuum filtration with heat drying, thereby significantly reducing sample preparation time.
Moreover, it offers flexible operation, supporting multiple modes such as white water circulation, electric sizing, compressed air bubble homogenization, and manual homogenization. Furthermore, it is equipped with a large-diameter manual valve for draining, a vacuum pump for filtration and auxiliary forming, an external water supply quick connector, and a stainless steel (304L) worktop.
In addition, Hand Sheet Former 300mm provides intuitive observation, featuring a transparent barrel design that ensures full visibility of the sheet-forming process, which allows operators to monitor each step closely and make adjustments as needed.

FAQ
Q: What is the main difference between the 160mm and 300mm hand sheet former?
A: The main difference is the diameter of the produced paper sample. The 300mm model produces a surface area approximately 3.5 times larger than the standard 160mm model. This is ideal for tests requiring larger samples, such as printability tests, multi-point physical strength testing, and specialized fiber research.
Q: Does the 300mm model comply with international standards like ISO or TAPPI?
A: Yes, our Standard Paper Hand Sheet Former is designed to meet the core requirements of ISO 5269/1 and TAPPI T205. It ensures the standardized preparation of hand sheets for physical and optical property analysis.
Q: Can I customize the forming mesh (screen) for specific fiber types?
A: Absolutely. While the standard configuration is a 150-mesh forming wire and a 20-mesh support wire, we offer customization for different mesh sizes to accommodate extra-fine fibers or coarse recycled pulps.
Q: How do you ensure uniform sheet formation on a larger 300mm surface?
A: Our equipment features an optimized 800mm suction leg and a precision-engineered air agitation system. This ensures that even with a larger diameter, the drainage time remains rapid ($<3.6s$) and the fiber distribution remains perfectly uniform across the entire sheet.
Q: Is the 300mm hand sheet former compatible with recycled fibers?
A: Yes. It is widely used for research involving wood pulp, recycled fibers, and non-wood fibers (such as bamboo or straw). Its robust stainless steel construction is designed to handle various chemical environments in wet-end chemistry.
