Steam Systems

The Woollard & Henry AccuSteam is a tried and tested steambox system improving the papermaking process to control moisture profile and remoisturization of the sheet. AccuSteam Steamboxes are used for installation at the wet end of a paper machine, calender or converting machines. Impressive improvements in production speeds, energy savings and moisture profile control are being noticed on sites where W&H Steam Systems have been implemented.

Shower Systems

The Woollard & Henry AccuShower is a tried and tested waterspray system improving the papermaking process to control moisture profile and remoisturization of the sheet. Using the latest fluid technology based on W&H experience and detailed FEM calculations, the AccuShower atomizes the water into extremely small particles forming a fine mist which via offset nozzles ensure perfect water application. The water mist is absorbed by the paper sheet and used to rewet the completed paper in each direction.
