Innovation for the packaging sector
Driven by its culture of innovation and continuous pursuit of excellence, HERGEN has just developed a new generation of its SMART FLOW Precision Headboxes.
The implemented innovations combined with high-precision machining and rigorous dimensional control, deliver greater mechanical rigidity, guaranteeing less deformation under working loads, resulting in greater uniformity and stability of the cross-machine basis weight profile.
Modern and stiff concept
This new generation stands out for its mechanical stiffness and much more refined geometric precision. Manufactured in 100% stainless steel, it has a constructive design that is more resistant and less prone to deformations under pressure.
The entire project was conceived based on advanced and highly efficient mechanical concepts designed and certified using the best engineering calculation systems, resulting in a product of excellence and high performance. During the tests, SMART FLOW Precision robustness impressed the team, leading them to affectionately nickname it “MuscleHeadBox“, in reference to the iconic robust and powerful American cars.
The ergonomic aspects of the new equipment comply with the highest safety regulations, prioritizing safety, and operability.
Flexibility and precision
To meet the specific requirements of each paper manufacturer, another highlight of the SMART FLOW Precision is the flexibility to choose the most suitable system for basis weight profile fine tuning.
This new generation can be configured to offer profile adjustment via the dilution system, via transverse deformation control of the upper diaphragm or mixed, where both systems act simultaneously delivering results with very low 2-sigma values across the entire basis weight range.
Proven quality
The experience acquired over time, combined with constant investment in technology and a focus on customer success, has positioned HERGEN as one of the main Headboxes suppliers in the world market, both for the Tissue segment and for Packaging and also specialty grades.
HERGEN’s new generation of SMART FLOW Precision is ready to deliver operational efficiency, reliability, and optimized profile adjustments throughout production.
Technology and innovation are in our DNA
HERGEN has consistently invested in technology in recent years.
In addition to the new generation of SMART FLOW Precision, we recently introduced the SMART SHOE, to the market, making us stand out as the only Shoe Press manufacturer in Latin America.
These advances reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement in everything we do, sparing no effort to deliver products with technology, innovation, and authentic quality.
HERGEN, for 50 years developing cutting-edge technology for the paper industry.
