Development of Headbox Technology(一)
Release time:2026-03-24
In paper production, the headbox is one of the most critical pieces of equipment that determines the quality of the paper’s fiber structure. It is responsible for achieving uniformity and controllability of paper properties. It directly affects the paper’s MD/CD strength ratio, tensile or breaking length, porosity, formation, and retention.
The future development goals of papermaking — including continuous improvements in machine speed, efficiency, and paper quality — impose a series of requirements for the upgrading of existing headboxes. The operating performance of a headbox is closely related to paper machine speed and efficiency. At the same time, improvements in headbox performance should also be considered in combination with the quality of the paper’s fiber structure (uniformity of basis weight distribution and fiber orientation). Higher demands must also be placed on mechanical manufacturing under high-speed conditions.
The development of headboxes has been driven by the continuous increase in paper
