Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a former head of the kind which is used for forming, such as dry forming, of a fibrous web, where fibres are supplied to the former head mixed with air via at least one injection inlet. The former head comprising: a) a roller being rotatable in a rotation direction around a rotation axis and comprising: a roller surface surrounding the rotation axis, and a plurality of projections extending outwardly, such as radially outwardly, from the roller surface, b) a screen extending along at least part of the roller surface above the rotation axis, the roller surface and the screen defining therebetween a peripheral gap, and c) the injection inlet, wherein the injection inlet is positioned to conduct the mixture of the fibres and air into the peripheral gap in a delivery direction opposite or substantial opposite to the rotation direction of the roller. |
