Paper machine experts know: slice lip and apron lip manufacturing is a craft. All of our parts are manufactured in the USA. Standard slice lip models or custom design, straight from our engineers, we deliver on-site and install with only the industries finest specialists. Amateur work just won't cut it...
The headbox nozzle provides a means of delivering the stock to the wire. Precision delivery edges of the apron lip and slice lip are critical in ensuring a defect free sheet. The slice opening and fan pump speed together determine the amount and velocity of fiber flow through the slice. The slice has micro and gross adjustment mechanisms to even out the paper weight profile across the machine (CD profile), although a newer method is to inject water into the stock across the headbox slice area, thereby using localized consistency to control CD weight profile.
