Abstract

In the production of multi-ply paper in a twin-wire former of the kind in which the wires define a curved forming zone, preferably a former of roll type with a smooth-faced forming roll, a substantially improved layer purity is produced in that the discharges from a first and at least succeeding portion of the curved forming zone are collected separately as different fractions. The first fraction collected nearest the multilayer headbox is returned in a first separate circuit to be used for diluting a first high consistency pulp to a first stock of headbox consistency, from which stock a first layer is to be formed directly on the outer wire in relation to the curved forming zone. At least a portion of a second fraction collected at a greater distance from the multilayer headbox is returned in a second separate circuit to be used for diluting a second high consistency pulp to a second stock of headbox consistency, from which a second layer is to be formed superimposed on the first layer.
