Definitions

  • the invention relates to a headbox of a machine for producing a fibrous web, in particular paper or board web, from at least one pulp suspension, with a sectioned transversely to the machine direction dilution device, in particular Siebwasserdos mecanics worn, in the flow direction of at least one pulp suspension extending transversely to the machine direction intermediate channel, a a plurality of turbulence channels and having partial flow generating turbulence generator and then a headbox is connected downstream, which has a flow space and which is provided with a pulp suspension jet supplying exit gap.
  • Such a headbox is known for example from the European patent EP 0 857 816 B1.
  • the respective blade used has a smooth surface on its two flow surfaces in a known manner. Through this respective smooth surface mixing of emerging from the turbulence generator and entering the headbox partial mixing streams is allowed to emerge from the exit slit of the headbox pulp suspension jet, and even promoted. As a result of this mixing of the partial mixing streams results in a correspondingly increased response width of the dilution water used. A regulation of narrow-wave disturbances in the fibrous web to be produced is thus no longer possible.
  • This object is achieved in that the intermediate channel and / or the flow space of the headbox nozzle by at least one connected to the dilution device or with the turbulence generator by at least one lamella holder and two of at least one pulp suspension touched flow surfaces having fin is divided, that at least one of the two flow surfaces the at least one lamella having an at least partially structured surface is provided, wherein the structuring is preferably selected such that mixing of the partial mixing streams emerging from the dilution device and entering the intermediate channel or emerging from the turbulizer and entering the headbox nozzle is at least impeded, preferably nearly is completely prevented.

  • the division of the structuring is preferably geich or a fraction of the division of the dilution device.
  • the structuring of the lamella and the sections of the dilution device are preferably arranged in the machine direction in the middle or approximately centrally offset from one another, so that a generated mixed partial flow passes through the lamella between two at least structurings.
  • At least one structure is preferably provided, which is formed by an elevation or by a depression.
