Dwell time in seconds between head box slice and first flat box or dandy roll:
Wire speed < 12 fpm : 1.5 2.0 seconds multiply forming length in feet by 40
(1.5 sec) or 30 (2 sec) to determine M/c speed that can be supported conventional
drainage table.
Wire speed > 1200 fpm : 1.0 seconds. Multiply forming length by 60 to obtain
M/c speed potential.
42 lb. Liner : 1.25 seconds. Multiply forming length by 48 to obtain M/c speed
potential.
Foodboard : 2 seconds. Multiply forming length by 30 to obtain M/c speed
potential.

51) CALCULATION OF LENGTH OF BELT
The percentage of power transmission through pulley and belt largely depends
on the length of belts. If the belt is tight the pulley will also run tightly. Its bush
bearings shall also worn out easily. On the other hand if length of a belt is in excess of
the need, it will slip frequently and result in loss of power. In order to determine the
right length of belt, the following formula are applied.

56) VACUUM PLI K N/M (SUCTION ROLLS)
Suction rolls present a problem in that part of the core bending or distortion
load is the result of the application of vacuum. This can be addressed either by
increasing the PLI KN/M to compensate for the vacuum or by sealing off the section
box area with plastic and applying an amount of vacuum equal to that normally run in
the roll. If the increased PLI KN/M method is used, the original equipment supplier
should be contacted to obtain the correct amount to be used. If this information is not
readily available, the incremental PLI KN/M addition can be approximated by using
the following formula :
SANTOSH SWAR
36
Vacuum PLI KN/M = 0.4912 x W x V x F
Where W = The width, in inches (mm) of the vacuum box.
V = The vacuum level, in inches (mm) of mercury.

Only 70-75 % of the vacuum PLI KN/M is used as an addition to the applied loading.
