headbox the pulp is formed on the wire 20 dewatered and dried in one embodiment of the method at least one high consistency slurry of cellulosic fibers is formed in an aqueous dispersion medium the cellulosic fibers which are both crosslinked cellulosic fibers and regular cellulosic fibers are dispersed in a screen by means of a rotor in the screen and then passed through the screen which has a hole diameter of at least 1 5 mm the cellulosic fibers are formed on a foraminous support rotors can be of various types such as lobed foil bump and s the listing is not meant to limit the types suitable for this application and known by the skilled artisan in another embodiment the fibers are passed through a screen which has a hole diameter of at least 2 mm screen hole sizes up to 6 mm can be used as used herein the term u201c consistency u201d means the percent solids content of a liquid and solid mixture for example a consistency of 2 percent cellulosic fibers means there are two grams of cellulosic fibers in one hundred grams of fiber and liquid in another embodiment the slurry consistency is at least 2 5 percent and in yet another embodiment the slurry consistency is at least 3 percent a high consistency slurry means a solid content of 3 to 4 percent a medium consistency slurry means a solid content of 1 to 2 percent and a low consistency slurry means a solid content of less than 1 percent solids crosslinked cellulosic fibers can be present in the high consistency slurry at levels of at least 35 percent by weight of the total fibers in the high consistency slurry in one embodiment they.
