Abstract
A method and apparatus for reducing turbulence in a pulp flow stream flowing through a paper making machine headbox includes providing lamellae disposed in a portion of the headbox. A lamella end portion is modified which provides for the flushing of a dead space formed in the wake of the lamella. The modified lamella end portion produces small flow channels which divide the pulp stream flowing past the lamella into a plurality of substreams and guides the substreams into the region of the dead space.
