ADJUSTABLE DEVICE FOR RECOVERING ENERGY FROM STOCK MOMENTUM

Systems and methods provide for the recovery of energy during the fabrication of paper, tissue, board, and the like. Water ejected from a forming wire (132) driven by a forming roll (110) may be directed by a guide plate (150) into a turbine (140). The guide plate may be adjustable, providing for alignment of a terminal edge of the guide plate with an entry point of the turbine. An angle of the guide plate may be adjustable, enabling a smooth transition of flow from the forming roll to the turbine. A position of the turbine may be adjustable. A guide plate and/or a turbine may be mounted modularly (e.g., with a guide plate as part of a guide plate module and/or a turbine as part of a turbine module).
