KM Aquaformer is developed for manufacturers who need precise, stable, and homogeneous web formation in wetlaid nonwoven production.
Water with fibers in suspension is pumped from the white water tank to the headbox, where the fibers are distributed onto the forming mesh. The water passes through the mesh and is removed by suction, while the fibers remain on the surface and form the wetlaid web.
With its inclined headbox design, controlled fiber spacing, and project-based configuration, KM Aquaformer helps manufacturers produce sustainable nonwoven substrates with the right porosity, uniformity, and web structure.
KM Aquaformer Wetlaid Headbox is designed to create a uniform wetlaid web by controlling how fibers are delivered, distributed, and laid onto the forming mesh.
Stable pumping, optimized dilution ratio, and precise flow pressure are essential for consistent web formation. The goal is to position fibers evenly, reduce overlap, and achieve the desired porosity across the web.
Uniform Web Formation
Designed to distribute fibers evenly across the forming width.
Stable Fiber Flow
Controlled suspension delivery for consistent web structure.
Optimized Dilution
Adjusted according to fiber type and fiber length.
Desired Porosity
Supports web formation with controlled openness and structure.
KM Aquaformer Wetlaid Headbox is built for manufacturers who require high-quality web formation, multi-fiber flexibility, and stable wetlaid process control.
As the headbox unit of the wetlaid production line, it directly affects fiber distribution, web uniformity, substrate quality, and the performance of downstream processes such as hydroentangling, drying, slitting, and converting.
KM Aquaformer Wetlaid Headbox performs the key wet laying steps in the wetlaid nonwoven production process.
The system receives fiber suspension from the white water tank, distributes it through the headbox, lays the fibers onto the mesh belt, removes water by suction, and creates a wet web ready for the next production stages.

Supporting diverse industries with flexible production solutions
Wetlaid technology enables the production of nonwoven materials from renewable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly fibers such as cellulose and pulp.
KM Aquaformer Wetlaid Headbox supports this approach by forming wetlaid webs through a water-based process and recovering excess water back to the white water tank for cost and energy savings.
Renewable Fiber Potential
Supports cellulose, pulp, and natural fiber applications.
Water-Based Forming
Uses fiber suspension and controlled wetlaid web formation.
Water Recovery
Excess water is returned to the white water tank.
Sustainable Substrates
Supports flushable and biodegradable material development.
