Major benefits by maintaining your headbox
Testing reveals the headbox condition
To determine the correct maintenance actions and to reach the optimum headbox performance, it is necessary to know the exact condition of the headbox. Valmet’s in-depth headbox condition tests provide valuable information on the following:
- slice opening and dry weight profile control and resetting to zero
- control of the jet impingement
- headbox functions
- changes, deformations and damage in the apron and the slice lip
- condition and cleanliness of the flow surfaces.
Comprehensive headbox maintenance services
Based on the condition test results, Valmet carries out the needed repairs, maintenance and improvements to enhance your headbox performance. These include repairs of the top slice transfer equipment, changes of parts (e.g. transfer gears, slice lip, seals), MX06 coating, on-site apron repairs/changes and headbox alignment. Upgrades to improve headbox cleanliness or the dry weight profile and orientation profile control are also available.
Proactive headbox maintenance the cost-efficient way
