MasterJet 4Tec
Perfect headbox technology for every application
The MasterJet 4Tec marks the fourth generation of MasterJet headboxes from Voith Paper. This new model offers significant advantages in four key areas: formation, pulsation damping, ease of operation and energy efficiency.
Compared to its predecessor, the already powerful MasterJet Pro, the MasterJet 4Tec offers significantly improved headbox jet quality. This is the ideal prerequisite for very good formation values, no streaks and therefore perfect paper properties.
Another highlight of the MasterJet 4Tec is the newly developed pulsation damper. It has a flexible membrane that separates the air volume from the pulp suspension, ensuring maximum cleanliness and stable machine operation. In addition, the damper does not generate any pressure loss, which reduces the energy consumption of the headbox pump.
Other innovations such as the new EdgeMaster significantly improve cleanliness and ease of use. The MasterJet 4Tec therefore represents a significant advancement in headbox technology.

MasterJet 4Tec product family
Whether Fourdrinier, hybrid, gap former or multi-layer application, MasterJet 4Tec headboxes are available in different variants to suit your needs.
MasterJet 4Tec for Fourdrinier and hybrid formers
The MasterJet 4Tec F and F/B headboxes with their leading technological concept provide the highest paper quality at maximum operational efficiency.
MasterJet 4Tec F
The MasterJet 4Tec F is the preferred solution for Fourdrinier and hybrid former applications. Due to its extremely solid design, it can be used for the highest machine speeds and widest wire widths.
MasterJet 4Tec F/B
Thanks to its innovative specialty paper modules, the MasterJet 4Tec F/B is extremely successful in the high-end market segment.
The MasterJet 4Tec F/B is the preferred solution not only for new machines but especially also to replace outdated headboxes on existing paper machines.

MasterJet 4Tec for gap formers
MasterJet 4Tec G
The MasterJet 4Tec G was developed to meet the requirements of high-performance gap former machines. It combines well-proven components like the MasterJet 4Tec turbulence generator and lamella technology with specific adaptions for gap former applications. A strong focus was placed on clean design as a basis for efficient operation and excellent runability.
Thanks to its modular design, the MasterJet 4Tec G allows an individual configuration to fully meet specific customer requirements. It is applicable on graphic as well as packaging machines.

MasterJet 4Tec for multi-layer applications
The two-layer headbox type is typically used for testliner production. Due to its unique layer separation concept, it provides excellent layer purity of brown-dyed top side.
MasterJet 4Tec F2
The MasterJet 4Tec F2 is a two-layer headbox for hybrid formers. It can be combined with a vacuum-assisted forming board for further improvement of layer separation.
The MasterJet 4Tec F2 was designed for maximum machine widths and highest speeds. It is the right solution for rebuilds of existing machines as well as new machines.

Add-ons improve your headbox performance
EdgeModule – Edge feeding for improved fiber orientation
Fewer edge breaks through improved edge stability
EdgeModule provides separate feeding of the outer turbulence generator columns on the front side and drive side in order to influence the nozzle flow and finally the fiber orientation cross direction (CD) profile. The suspension is controlled by means of the integrated flowmeter and ball valve.
EdgeModule thereby contributes to a considerable improvement of paper edge stability and fewer edge breaks.

MasterJet 4Tec for decor papers
Unique concept for special requirements
Especially for the production of specialty papers, the homogeneity of the stock flow is of the utmost importance and the basis for optimum profile quality, uniform sheet formation and the prevention of streaks.
To meet these challenging requirements, Voith worked with the Felix Schoeller Group to completely optimize its headbox hydraulic system, focusing primarily on the turbulence generator, the lamellas and the headbox nozzle. In comprehensive pilot trials and simulations, these components were improved and perfectly matched with one another. With the new MasterJet Pro, the Felix Schoeller Group has achieved a significant improvement in the quality of its decor paper.

This unique headbox concept has had such a positive impact on our production that we have meanwhile ordered another two units from Voith.

Engineered for success
Successful headbox rebuild at BM 3 improves quality and productivity
Not only did the close collaboration between the two companies deliver a three percent increase in productivity and an improvement in paper quality; extending the dewatering section with an improvement in dewatering capacity also proved to be an expedient measure. Production could restart ahead of schedule thanks to the well-coordinated collaboration between all parties during the planning and rebuild phases.
The best project execution that I have experienced in Arnsberg in the last 37 years.
