The Octopus™ stock approach system is a radial-type distributor that supplies forming devices (vats, hydraulic formers or headboxes) with uniform paper machine profiles across the width of the machine without the need for header balancing by recirculation.
When equipped with consistency profiling ability, the Octopus stock approach system allows the control of CD basis weight profile while paper machines are operating. The profile management tool permits the papermaker to minimize variations, improve sheet properties, and increase profitability.
