Below are photos of a special project we did for a customer in North Carolina. This is a custom made former board. The OEM does not offer this so our client came to us and asked us to make a special 23” web width former board for a special project application. To our knowledge, no other vendor has attempted this. We had a former board that was in for repair, which we used as a template and we were able to re-design the new web width with a former nose that they sent for referencing the angle to work with the new width. This beautiful board has been installed and is running successfully at our client's facility.
