ABSTRACT:
In an assembly and method for producing a non-woven web of fibrous material utilizing the foam process, an edge seal for the former is provided which can include the introduction of substantially free foam into the edge seal for providing lubrication and to prevent leakage of fiber-containing slurry from the former. Web formation is primarily due to a mechanical force provided by nip rolls, although suction tables and other suction devices are also provided to carry away foam removed by the nip rolls, or at other stages. The foam/fiber slurry may be formed by introducing the foam tangentially into a tank at a plurality of locations to establish a vortex, and by introducing fiber into the top of the tank, and pumping from the bottom of the tank. The foam/fiber slurry may be introduced using a structure that can be reciprocated toward and away from the inlet of the former, and which has a number of changes defined by pivoted or flexible plates to form distinct strata at least at the start of web formation.
