Breast Roll & Fourdrinier Wire Showers

The breast roll supports the fourdrinier wire at the headbox end of the paper machine. Both the breast roll and machine wire tend to accumulate stock fiber. A series of showers serve to clean fiber buildup, improving drainage and runability of the paper machine. Accurately controlled water temperature is crucial to this application.
