Paper Machinery Divisions: New Applications in Multilayer Technology, 1998 Multi-Ply Forming Forum Proceedings
Multilayer formation with several headboxes and wires is state-of-the-art at the present time for board and packaging paper production.
In this connection, the intensive research work carried out by Voith Sulzer Paper Technology in close cooperation with customers has resulted in far wider applications of multilayer technology over the last few years (several pulp grades in a single headbox).
Voith Sulzer Paper Technology now markets a range of interesting new designs, suitable for a wide variety of furnishes and paper qualities as well as meeting specific customer needs.
A complete report on all these innovations would exceed the scope of this article, which is therefore limited to a basic discussion of hydrodynamics in modern multilayer headboxes.
