The machine consists of a strong stainless steel table with a waterproof polypropylene working top, a built-in sheet forming column, 1 to 5 dryers, a bronze-pump (2 in case of white water option), 1 or 2 water heaters, water reservoir, valves, control cabinet, etc. Just behind each dryer is a control panel with displays for vacuum, time and temperature; the start/stop buttons are just in front of it. The machine is built for fully automatic forming of handsheets and is easily operated by pressing the start button and adding the pulp suspension. The finished sheet is taken out after couching and placed in one of the dryers. With a 4-dryer machine 40-50 sheets can be produced per hour.
