Main Type
Based on the structure and working principle, the main types of headbox are as follows:
Open-type headbox: The structure is simple, and pressure is stabilized by the liquid level difference. It is suitable for medium and low-speed paper machines.
Air cushion type headbox: An air cushion is set above the weir pool, and the pulp speed is precisely and flexibly controlled by adjusting the air pressure. Its performance is superior to the open type and is widely used in medium-high speed paper machines.
Hydraulic type headbox: It is powered by a pump pressure system and is equipped with efficient hydraulic rectifying elements (such as homogenizing rollers), which can generate high-quality turbulence and facilitate uniform dispersion of fibers. It is suitable for high-speed paper machines.
