U. Begemann, MODULEJET(R) HEADBOX CONCEPT OPERATING EXPERIENCE WITH SINGLELAYER AND MULTILAYER HEADBOXES PROCESSING DIFFERENT PAPER GRADES, Pulp & paper Canada, 97(8), 1996, pp. 20-23
The first ModuleJet headbox, together with a specially developed contr
ol unit, the Profilmatic M, was put into operation on January 3, 1994.
With this new headbox concept, the cross directional basis weight pro
file is controlled by sectional adjustment of stock consistency. If re
quired, the CD fibre orientation profile can also be adjusted. With Mo
duleJet, the headbox slice opening remains completely parallel, fulfil
ling a basic prerequisite for uniform CD paper characteristics. This a
rticle reviews the background leading to the development, mode of oper
ation and operating experience gained with this new headbox concept.
