Claims
- 1. A headbox for, one of, a paper and cardboard machine, comprising:
at least one material suspension supply running a width of said machine; at least one turbulence producer having at least one conduit through which a material suspension flows; at least one metered addition point located in said conduit for introducing a fluid medium; and a headbox nozzle located downstream from said at least one turbulence producer for delivering said material suspension; wherein a portion of a flow resistance located downstream of said metered addition point is at least approximately 50% of a total flow resistance of said at least one conduit.
- 2. The headbox of claim 1, wherein said portion of a flow resistance downstream of said metered addition point is no greater than approximately 75% of said total resistance of said at least one conduit.
- 3. The headbox claim 2, wherein said portion of a flow resistance downstream of said metered addition point is any value in a range of approximately 50% to 60% of said total resistance of said at least one conduit.
- 4. The headbox of claim 1, wherein said at least one conduit comprises an entrance region located before said metered addition point which is defined by a bezel.
- 5. The headbox of claim 4, wherein said bezel has a depth t in a range of approximately 2 mm to 10 mm and an angle α of between approximately 20° and 80° relative to an entrance surface of said at least one conduit.
- 6. The headbox of claim 4, wherein said bezel has a depth t in a range of approximately 4 mm to 6 mm and an angle α of between approximately 20° and 80° relative to an entrance surface of said at least one conduit.
- 7. The headbox of claim 1, wherein said at least one conduit comprises an entrance region located before said metered addition point which is defined by a venturi tube contour.
- 8. The headbox of claim 7, further comprising a transition section located between said metered addition of a fluid and a wave contour.
- 9. The headbox of claim 7, wherein said transition section comprises a diffuser-like conical section.
- 10. The headbox of claim 7, wherein said metered addition of a fluid is located in a region of greatest narrowing, said region of greatest narrowing being located between said entrance and a wave contour.
- 11. The headbox of claim 1, wherein said at least one conduit comprises a wave contour region located downstream of said metered addition point.
- 12. The headbox of claim 1, wherein said at least one metered addition point comprises at least one opening for delivering a fluid medium in a direction opposite to said main flow of said material suspension.
- 13. The headbox of claim 1, wherein said at least one turbulence producer comprises a plurality of conduits through which a material suspension flows.
- 14. The headbox of claim 13, wherein some of said plurality of conduits have metered addition points.
- 15. The headbox of claim 13, wherein all of said plurality of conduits have metered addition points.
- 16. The headbox of claim 14, wherein said some of said plurality of conduits are arranged in an evenly distributed manner across said machine width.
- 17. A headbox for, one of, a paper and cardboard machine, comprising:
at least one material suspension supply running a width of said machine; at least one turbulence producer having a plurality of conduits through which a material suspension flows; each conduit comprising a narrowed entrance region which creates an initial flow resistance, a region of greatest narrowing which creates an additional flow resistance, and at least one metered addition point for introducing a fluid medium, said metered addition point being located between said narrowed entrance region and said region of greatest narrowing; a headbox nozzle located downstream from said at least one turbulence producer for delivering said material suspension; wherein a portion of a flow resistance located downstream of said metered addition point is at least approximately 50% of a total flow resistance of said at least one conduit.
