paper machine









































a paper machine (or paper-making machine) is an industrial machine which is used in the pulp and paper industry









































to create paper in large quantities at high speed. modern paper-making machines are based on the principles of the fourdrinier machine, which uses a moving woven mesh to create a continuous paper web by filtering out the fibres held in a paper stock and producing a continuously moving wet mat of fibre. this is dried in the machine to produce a strong paper web.

before the 1850s, linen and cotton rag were the primary material source for papermaking, but a shortage drove the market to develop the notoriously acidic wood-pulp alternative. with the advent of steam-driven paper making machines such as the fourdrinier in the 19th century, in conjunction with the advent of the steam driven rotary printing press, wood based paper caused a major transformation of the 19th century economy and society in industrialized countries. the wide availability of cheap wood based paper can be credited with the birth of ephemera, and consequently with the birth of modern paper preservation, as large quantities of rapidly deteriorating materials needed the attention of science.
