The concept of the dry vat developed from the realization that most of the fiber deposition on a vat former occurs during the initial period of cylinder immersion. By restricting the stock to a small part of the vat compartment, less wash-off of stock occurs and better formation is achieved without sacrificing much forming capacity. Some counterflow vats have been modified into dry vats by utilizing a specially-designed seal to isolate a selected portion of the vat. In cases where the vat is used exclusively as a dry vat, a half-vat can be used.... 1, record 2, English, - dry%20vat

La forme dite «à sec» est une forme à contre courant munie d'un barrage empêchant la suspension de descendre dans la cuve au dessous d'un certain niveau. De cette façon, la formation est meilleure (moins de floculation), l'égouttage est facile, et les problèmes inhérents aux variations des niveaux de l'eau blanche dans le cylindre sont supprimés. Les variations de grammage sens travers sont donc moins prononcées, mais l'orientation des fibres sens marche demeure, car la suspension est située entre une partie mobile et une partie fixe. 1, record 2, French, - forme%20%C3%A0%20sec

The use of inductive heat-sealing equipment instead of conductive heat sealing is broadening the applications for foil lidding. Inductive sealing does not heat the lid by direct contact. Heat is brought into the lidding stock by a magnetic field through which the container and lid pass. The magnetic field heats the foil in the lid and an effective, hermetic seal forms between the lid and the container. 3, record 3, English, - heat%20sealer
