Optimizations for Best Formation and Paper Quality

One of the most important innovations of the MasterJet 4Tec is the improved jet homogeneity. Through optimized geometry and flow guidance, streaking in the formation has been reduced by a remarkable 30%. The result is outstanding paper quality with a perfect optical appearance.

Fiber distribution has also been further improved. In combination with the reduced streaking, this ensures formation values at the highest level. For papermakers, this means consistently first-class product quality.

Six-Figure Energy Savings Possible

In addition to paper quality, energy efficiency was also a focus in the development of the MasterJet 4Tec. Through the flow-optimized components, the energy consumption of the headbox pump has been significantly reduced.

For a paper machine with a working width of 6 meters, producing at 1,000 m/min, energy savings of around 103,000 euros per year are possible. The investment in the new headbox thus pays off quickly, also financially.

In the Voith Paper Webshop, you can quickly and easily purchase products and services from Voith.

Clean Operation and Easy Handling

For clean and user-friendly operation, the MasterJet 4Tec has some clever features. The EdgeMaster, for example, is an easy-to-adjust deckle on the forming fabric that can be simply swiveled upwards for fabric changes.

A novel Teflon seal also ensures a fiber-free fabric edge and clean surfaces around the headbox. This significantly reduces cleaning and maintenance efforts and increases the overall efficiency of the paper machine.
