  • These liquid substances are fed to a headbox by means of a water supply or feed water supply.
  • the substances applied onto a forming wire are then dewatered to form a fiber web, such as a paper or board web. Afterward it is then further transferred to a press section for additional dewatering and a dryer section in which the formed fiber web is dried. Further treatment depends on the respective requirements of the product.

  • the headbox has two layers comprising a suspension and a central layer comprising water. All of these layers are guided separately in the guide device. In order to improve the formation of different liquid layers, blades are provided in the nozzle to achieve the formation of the liquid layers.
  • EP 2 784 213 A1 shows a multilayer headbox structure for a fiber web machine for forming a fiber web, comprising a multilayer headbox having a turbulence generator and a nozzle chamber having two converging walls forming a nozzle outlet.
  • the turbulence generator has a plurality of diffusers creating turbulence in liquids supplied into each respective diffuser via feeding means for feeding the liquids, each of the diffusers having an outlet into the nozzle chamber.
  • a single central diffuser is provided which is connected with feeding means feeding fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water into said central diffuser.
  • the central diffuser has two blades arranged at its outlet and extending into the nozzle chamber in a converging manner, the blades separating the fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water as the liquid flowing through the central diffuser from the liquids flowing through adjacent diffusers.
  • the central diffuser is arranged between a top ply diffuser and a back ply diffuser, in which top ply diffuser top ply pulp suspension as the liquid flows through the top ply diffuser for forming a top ply of the fiber web and in which back ply diffuser back ply pulp suspension as the liquid flows through the back ply diffuser for forming a back ply of the fiber web.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by a multilayer headbox structure having the features of claim 1 for a fiber web machine for forming a fiber web and by a method having the features of claim 11 for forming a fiber web in a forming section of a fiber web machine.
  • a three layer fiber web (also called as a "three ply product”) can be formed by one headbox structure (one headbox with one forming unit) which dewatering capacity is able to dewater stock which is fed to the forming section of the fiber web machine.
  • a multilayer headbox structure for a fiber web machine for forming a fiber web which comprises a multilayer headbox having a turbulence generator and a nozzle chamber having two converging walls forming a nozzle outlet.
  • the turbulence generator has a plurality of diffusers creating turbulence in liquids supplied into each respective diffuser via feeding means for feeding the liquids, each of the diffusers having an outlet into the nozzle chamber, wherein central diffusers of the plurality of diffusers comprise a first central diffuser and a second central diffuser, the first central diffuser is connected with feeding means feeding fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water into the first central diffuser, the first central diffuser has two blades arranged at its outlet and extending into the nozzle chamber in a converging manner, the blades separating the fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water as the liquid flowing through the first central diffuser from the liquids flowing through adjacent diffusers, the second central diffuser is connected with feeding means feeding pulp suspension into the second central diffuser, the second central diffuser has an additional blade and a blade arranged at its outlet, the additional blade and the blade extend into the nozzle chamber in a converging manner, and the additional blade has a shorter length than
  • the plurality of diffusers at least comprises four diffusers, i.e. the top ply diffuser, the first central diffuser, the second central diffuser and the back ply diffuser.
  • the top ply diffuser is configured to form the top ply (top surface side) of the fiber web to be formed
  • the back ply diffuser is configured to form the back ply (back surface side) to the fiber web to be formed.
  • the central diffusers comprise at least the first central diffuser and the second central diffuser, which are arranged between said top ply diffuser and back ply diffuser.
  • the first central diffuser is connected with the feeding means feeding fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water into the first central diffuser, which is either arranged next (adjacent) to the top ply diffuser or the back ply diffuser.
  • the first central diffuser has the two blades which are arranged at its outlet and which extend into the nozzle chamber in a converging manner such that these blades separate the fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water as the liquid flowing through the first central diffuser from the liquids flowing through the adjacent diffusers, i.e. either between the top ply diffuser and the second central diffuser or between the back ply diffuser and the second central diffuser.
  • the second central diffuser is connected with the feeding means for feeding pulp or stock suspension.
  • the second central diffuser has the additional blade arranged at the outlet and adjacent to one of the two blades of the first central diffuser, which additional blade of the second central diffuser has a shorter length than said adjacent blade of the first central diffuser. Due to this positioning of the blade tips of the first and second central diffusers, a first central layer of the fiber web to be formed, which layer consists mainly of water (fresh water, dilution water, and/or white water), does not get mixed with the adjacent pulp suspension layers. Accordingly, the first central diffuser is configured to form a boundary layer between the adjacent pulp suspension layers.
  • the second central layer forms a middle layer, which pulp or stock properties advantageously differs from the top ply suspension and the bottom ply suspension.
  • the second central layer purity can be less or lower than the top ply purity, but it is still good enough to separate stock properties. This helps dewatering capacity in the forming section.
  • the different liquids can be supplied to a wire in a forming section in a layered manner, thus maintaining the purity of the individual liquid layers. Since no mixing of the layers can take place, various additives such as filler materials, refined fibers, cationic starch, etc. in the water layer maintain their position in the center of the web to be formed, but are not distributed to the adjacent pulp suspension layers. Accordingly, a degradation of the additives caused by mixing and a subsequent interaction with materials from an adjacent liquid layer can be avoided. Thus, the desired properties of the additives are maintained. Accordingly, adjusting the required properties of the fiber web to be formed is easily enabled by supplying the respective materials with the respective layer, because a degradation of the individual material properties of the additives due to mixing with the respectively adjacent layer cannot take place.
  • various additives such as filler materials, refined fibers, cationic starch, etc. in the water layer maintain their position in the center of the web to be formed, but are not distributed to the adjacent pulp suspension layers. Accordingly, a degradation of the additives caused by mixing and

That is, one may say that blade lengths in the slice channel (nozzle chamber) are configured in such a manner that blades between different stock layers (i.e. between the back/top ply layer and the second central layer) are longer than blade(s) which are in the middle of such stock layers.
  • further blade(s) may be as long as the length of said two blades.
  • further tip blade distance from the nozzle outlet (slice opening) can, for example, be from 1 to 50 mm, wherein the tip of blade is inside the nozzle outlet.

Accordingly, a bulky middle layer can be provided.

  • the same pulp suspension can be used for forming the top ply and the back ply.
  • the structure of the multilayer headbox and forming section can be simplified and thus its cost can be further reduced.
  • the top ply diffuser is formed between an adjacent blade of the first central diffuser and one of the two converging walls of the nozzle chamber, and the back ply diffuser is formed between the additional blade of the second central diffuser and the other of the two converging walls of the nozzle chamber.
  • the blades are arranged in a staggered manner in the above-mentioned headbox structures. Thereby, the accuracy of the different liquid layers can be improved.
  • At least the blades of the first central diffuser extend beyond the nozzle chamber to an outside of the multilayer headbox.
  • the formation of the liquid layers directly on the wire is ensured. Accordingly, no mixing at the boundaries between the first central water layer and the pulp suspension layers takes place.

  • the respective liquid layers are calmed down at their boundaries such that an interaction between the different liquid layers after their unification is avoided.
  • At least one adjustable slice tip is provided at the nozzle outlet.

  • the same quality for the top ply and the back ply of the fiber web to be formed can be achieved.
  • the above aspects of the present invention provide an advantage in that the first central water layer and the pulp suspension layers (also known as stock layers) can be combined at the nozzle outlet, but can maintain their purity because turbulences in the boundary areas of the respective layers are sufficiently maintained to such an extent that a mixing of the individual layers is prevented.
