Headbox service for all brands
Replace Or Reconditioning?
Headbox Services For All Brands
Over time, headbox performance deteriorates as the forces of corrosion, damage to the slice and apron lips, wear on adjustable components, and defects in the heating channels take their toll. When this happens, sheet quality and operational safety can be impacted. The decision then becomes “replace” or “recondition”? ANDRITZ offers an annual service to inspect, recondition and, when necessary, rebuild your headbox to restore performance, extending the lifetime and improving sheet quality of your initial capital investment.
Service overview:
- Engineering, disassembly, re-assembly and adjustments
- Service and repair of all movable parts and drives, and of the apron or slice lip
- Installation of new heating units, manufacture, and exchange of diffusor tubes
- Repair or manufacture of new apron body, slice body, rear panel, and pond side
Service highlight - lip repair
Since any damage to the slice or apron lip, even the smallest scratches, will have a negative impact on MD and CD sheet profiles, ANDRITZ offers a lip repair service as an alternative to costly replacements. Specialists will perform all the operations, like leveling, planning, grinding, shaping, and deburring, to bring the slice and apron lips back to specifications. These operations can be performed directly on-site in your mill or in our Graz workshops, depending on the extent of the damage.
