Processing of FBB FBB is typically made of three, or in some cases four, plies. For this reason, the forming section of a modern FBB machine includes separate forming of individual plies with fourdriniers. The middle-ply fourdrinier is equipped with a top dewatering unit to improve formation and increase drainage capacity. The press section usually
