The DYNAFLO-TWC is a hydraulic headbox for tissue Crescent Formers, which operates at speeds from 750 to 2,000 mpm and basis weight from 10 to 32 gsm.
An excellent stock dispersion is guaranteed by the exclusive Dynaflo tubes, the turbulence generating device at the basis of the OVER's modern hydraulic headbox design. The flow coming from the tapered headers passes through a separated mixing/equalizing chamber that optimizes the stock pressure and fiber suspension, just before the turbulence generator of each layer, which is the core of the DYNAFLO concept: the stainless steel Dynaflo tubes present a conical cross-section, changing shape gradually from round to rectangular.
After a high acceleration at the inlet orifice and a gradual diffusion of the stock flow along the Dynaflo tubes, the large-scale turbulence weakens, while sustaining small-scale turbulence, thanks to the many boundary layers generated by the friction with the tube walls. Each tubes row has an optimum velocity range: by multiplying the tubes rows, a broad range of flow rates can be accommodated, giving this headbox design the greatest adaptability to all operating conditions.
Its entire construction in stainless steel, with thorough finish and electropolishing of all the surfaces in contact with the stock, will guarantee safe and trouble-free operations for many years. The CD profiling is made either manually or automatically, QCS driven, by micro-screw jacks spaced 150 mm, or optionally 100 mm. The dilution profiling is also available through QCS control.
