Hydraulic Headboxes – Stock Jet Geometry for Fourdriniers

SKU: RVCT-632

Duration: 0.50 Hrs

A hydraulic headbox is designed to deliver a uniform, low consistency stock stream to the Fourdrinier wire. It is important to monitor the geometry of the stock jet because it greatly impacts the appearance and performance of the sheet. Only by understanding the variables that affect the stock jet, and how the jet geometry affects sheet properties, can one begin to make adjustments to the headbox to optimize sheet quality.
