Approach Flow: Getting the air out increases machine speed for more output and fewer sheet breaks. That is where AFT Headbox screening and the POM degassing approach can help a mill to simplify. Recycled Fiber Stock Preparation Equipment: We believe in updating the old with better engineered components, but sometimes an equipment change is needed. Aikawa has been a leader in Asian Recycled fiberlines. AFT leads the way in providing key engineered component and unit capital upgrades with process reviews to understand final output and a step by step plan to get there all at once or over time.
