Expansion of the Herty research facility,
which serves the pulp and paper industry by experimental production of
high-grade paper, consists of a new pilot plant addition, laboratory building
and reception center, and the renovation of the existing laboratory/administration
wing. The pilot plant addition has three 50-foot-high bays, two 15-ton
overhead cranes, and multiple-level machine mezzanines. The plant houses
a Fourdrinier paper machine and an Inclined Wire Paper Machine (Deltaformer)
custom designed for Herty.
