The introduction of the FlexJet™ line expands GLV's headbox capabilities, and provides multiple options with updated technology and tailored solutions built to serve the specific needs of mills with a wide range of applications. Models include the FlexJet™ F, FlexJet™ S, FlexJet™ R and the FlexJet™ C, specifically designed to apply Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) and other additives.
"The engineering behind the development of FlexJet™ technology south to solve problems for our customer," explains Marc Foulger, Global Business Manager, Headboxes for GLV. "The innovative nozzle design of each FlexJet™ model offers the widest possible range of MD:CD ratio control, a key metric for optimizing sheet properties for many grades. The nozzle enables the headbox to produce a squarer sheet for grades such as linerboard, and therefore greater cross directional strength on the paper machine."

The company brings the FlexJet™ technology to market after numerous successful installations and headbox replacement projects in North America, Europe and Asia.
