Voith will supply a MasterJet Pro F/B headbox for a leading paper manufacturer in North America. The new headbox with ModuleJet dilution technology will enable optimization of paper production and ensure greater efficiency and optimized production quality. The installation of the new system is expected to be completed in May 2025.
“The new headbox will enable our customer to improve key paper properties such as formation, cross direction basis weight variation, fiber orientation and smoothness. Additional benefits will include improvement in cross direction short span compression test and the potential for basis weight optimization. Moreover, the new headbox will be designed to meet the existing operating parameters as well as future parameters associated with a larger machine rebuild,” says Mitch Kilmer, Director of Applications at Voith Paper.
