What is Single Layer Forming Fabric?
The single layer forming fabric is widely used on paper pulp making, sludge dewatering, straw pulp board, black liquid extraction, pulp washing and bleaching machine. The single layer forming fabric have low cost and simple structure, suitable for low speed paper machine. The single layer forming fabric is composed by one layer warp and one layer weft, usually woven from 2 heddle to 8 heddle.
The Structure of Single Layer Forming Fabric
1. Single Layer 2 Heddle
Its design is mainly used for sewage treatment plants, sludge dewatering machines, etc.

3. Single Layer 4 Heddle
It's suitable for various paper making, such as kraft paper, corrugated paper, tissue paper, etc.
| Simple structure The weaving method is mainly based on warp threads Good dehydration performance | ![]() |
Controllable traces of mesh line on paper Moderate retention effect | ![]() |
4. Single Layer 5 Heddle
It's widely used for writing paper, printing paper, kraft paper, newsprint paper, and other thin paper and need high requirement of dehydration.
Simple structure One side of the table roller has a mesh surface that is wear-resistant Uniform pore size Better dehydration performance than the 4 heddle forming fabric | ![]() |
High fiber support index and good retention Convenient pick up paper long lifespan | ![]() |
5. Single Layer 8 Heddle
It's suitable for making high paper weight paper and board.
| The mesh surface which close to table roll is wear resistance Mesh hole even | ![]() |
High dehydration than 5 heddle Long life service | ![]() |
