When a project calls for expertise across several disciplines

Woollard & Henry, PAMA paper machinery GmbH and WH Lipex work together as a group, bringing together expertise in engineering, machinery design, manufacturing and process engineering for the paper, glass fibre and basalt fibre industries.

Our capabilities cover the entire process of developing and delivering a plant: from technical planning, process engineering and machinery design through to machining, manufacturing, delivery, assembly and commissioning. Bringing these disciplines together within one group allows us to draw on the right expertise for each project. Which businesses work together depends on the technical requirements of the project.

For paper industry projects, this allows Woollard & Henry’s engineering and manufacturing capabilities to be combined with PAMA’s expertise in paper machinery. WH Lipex complements the group with specialist process engineering, design and solutions for glass and basalt fibre production.

Each business has its own technical teams and operations. They work together when a project benefits from the complementary capabilities of the group, this enables process requirements, design solutions and practical implementation to be considered together.

Three businesses with their own areas of expertise, bringing their knowledge together according to each project’s requirements: Woollard & Henry, PAMA Paper Machinery GmbH and WH Lipex.

The equipment we supply supports production lines all over the world, which means our engineering team is constantly travelling to provide on-site service wherever it is needed.

Our engineers travel extensively to provide maintenance, technical support, and full installations for AccuSteam, AccuShower and ECM equipment, as well as servicing third-party systems at our customers’ facilities. The graphic highlights some of the locations they visited last month, helping keep our customers’ machinery running smoothly.

If your own remoisturising equipment is due for a service or you are planning a new equipment installation, you can get in touch with our team at [email protected] or call us on +44 (0) 1224 771 100.

This bespoke Woollard & Henry system is designed primarily for top-side formation on heavy paper grades, with a fixed-diameter dandy roll and external oscillating roll cleaning.

The pivot bracket design allows adjustable roll pe*******on and quick lifting of the dandy roll in an emergency. Mounted on a rail, the system can also be repositioned in the machine direction to suit the range of paper grammages being produced.

For current or upcoming dandy roll applications, contact the Woollard & Henry team: [email protected]

Successful investment in banknote and security paper production requires an understanding of the entire manufacturing process, how each stage interacts, and the practical challenges of operating a paper mill.

At Woollard & Henry, our experience spans security paper technology, mill production, and process engineering. This allows us to support customers with process optimisation, machinery modernisation, wet-end technology, and the development of complete production facilities.

Our consultancy is not restricted to our own equipment portfolio. The objective is to identify the most appropriate technical and commercially sustainable solution for each project.

The process defines the solution - not the product portfolio.

Current work includes ECM components, with grids being removed and refitted as part of ongoing work on the moulds.

Alongside this, work is progressing on a bespoke AccuSteam design. The system has been developed at a much smaller scale to suit the customer’s installation, demonstrating the scope to adapt the system to the space and requirements available. We are looking forward to showing the finished system.

We also have offshore personnel carriers moving through the workshop for fabrication and assembly as part of our long-standing manufacturing partnership with Reflex Marine Ltd.

At Woollard & Henry, manufacturing starts with understanding the component, its application and the requirements it needs to meet. From material selection and machining through to fabrication, inspection and final assembly, each stage has a part to play in the finished component.

Our Gdańsk workshop specialises in smaller, high-volume component work, with CNC machining and inspection supporting consistent production across repeat batches.

Quality control is built into the process, allowing measurements and tolerances to be checked throughout manufacture.

This also gives customers a cost-effective option for producing smaller components in volume while maintaining the quality standards expected from Woollard & Henry.

From individual components to integrated manufacturing work, our teams can support the process from manufacture through to finished assembly.

This is the steel loom Woollard & Henry still uses today to produce a chain laid sheet, first developed in the 1970s.

More than 50 years on, it continues to produce the same high-quality customisable laid sheets it was designed to produce from the outset.

The process is labour-intensive, involving threading individual machine direction chain lines with weights positioned at the back of the machine to maintain tension throughout. The loom weaves the across machine laid wires into a continuous grid, creating the required laid lines count and chain lines distance to give a laid paper its distinctive structure and texture.

With a wide range of laid counts and material options, this process allows Woollard & Henry to retain the specialist craftsmanship to manufacture a chain laid cover that can be and precise structure that give laid paper its distinctive finish. Chain laid covers can be replaced and repaired unlike the Plate Laid rolls.

It is a skill that relatively few people have had the opportunity to learn, which is why we are continuing to train others and pass that knowledge on securing the future.

The laid pattern has been part of papermaking for centuries. Dating back to the 16th century, it was originally created by hand to give paper its distinctive texture. By the 19th century, the development of the laid dandy roll allowed the pattern to be produced as part of the mechanised papermaking process.

At Woollard & Henry, the story of our own chain laid sheet manufacture design begins in the 1970s. From a wooden loom template, we developed the design and manufactured our loom which remains in use today over 50 years later.

The laid sheet is woven in-house before being attached to the dandy roll, and is used to create laid patterns sometimes with watermarks for applications including stationery, legal documents & archival-quality materials and labels.

While we continue to develop and modernise, we won’t be giving up the traditional craftsmanship behind processes like this anytime soon. There is still value in the specialist knowledge, skill, and attention to detail that these processes require, particularly when producing work where the finished result depends on getting those details right.

Developed by our own paper engineers, AccuShower provides controlled moisture application across the cross machine direction, with individual control of the air and water nozzles.

Remoisturisation can be adjusted from 0 to 3.0%, with maximum peak-to-peak moisture difference of 0.25%. AccuShower can be installed in the dryer section, at the cooling cylinder, or ahead of the calendar.

We have also used the system on filter paper, tea bag paper, board, and newsprint. On one tea bag paper application, a 2.7% moisture increase reduced 2-sigma variation from 1.58 to 0.18.

Trial units are available for mills that want to run AccuShower on their own production line and see how it performs under their existing operating conditions.
