What is a headbox?
Headbox in the paper production line is a part of the paper making machine that has the task of evenly distributing paper pulp on the surface of the wire. The headbox is placed at the beginning of the paper forming stage and applies the pulp to the web surface with precision and control.
The main task of the headbox is the uniform and proportional distribution of paper pulp on the grid surface. For this purpose, the headbox includes a distribution plate, which uses thin weaves or small holes to pass the paste flow through it uniformly and distribute it homogeneously along the grid surface.
