Abstract: A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product made up of a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a second package material, wherein a substantial portion of the inner surface of the second package material is in contact with the first package material of the plurality of paper product rolls and is nonstick relative to the first package material. The bundle includes fused end seals so that the bundle does not include open gussets that might otherwise catch on machinery during sorting and shipping. The packaging material and/or wrapper may include laser energy absorbing material or adhesive.

Abstract: A method of producing wet laid disposable bath tissue, facial tissue, and paper towel with enhanced properties through application of surface additives using a piezoelectrical apparatus or application device.

Abstract: A system and method of cleaning an imprinting fabric used to make bath tissue, paper towel, or facial tissue, in which the imprinting fabric is washed with water from high pressure impact showers and flooding showers, and water remaining on the imprinting fabric after the step of washing is removed with a vacuum roll on a sheet side of the imprinting fabric. The system and method does not involve removing water from the fabric with a uhle box on the sheet side of the imprinting fabric.

Abstract: A dewatering box cover including a main body having a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite the leading edge, a first side edge, a second side edge opposite the first side edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface and a plurality of sets of holes formed within the main body. The holes within each set are aligned with one another along an imaginary line that is angled from 30° to 70° relative to horizontal and the holes extend downwards from the top surface of the main body towards the bottom surface of the main body at an angle of 20° to 45° relative to vertical.

Abstract: A dewatering box cover including a main body having a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite the leading edge, a first edge, a second side edge opposite the first side edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface. A first slot is formed within the main body having a first portion and a second portion angled relative to the first portion so as to form a V-shape. A plurality of second slots are formed within the main body at both sides of the first slot. The second slots and the first and second portions of the first slot extend from the top surface to the bottom surface of the main body at an angle relative to horizontal of 30° to 70° and at an angle relative to vertical of 20° to 45°.

Abstract: A multi-ply flushable wipe includes a ply having first and second exterior layers and a middle layer disposed therebetween. Each of the exterior layers includes at least 50% by weight natural fibers. When foam-formed, the middle layer includes at least 25% by weight natural fibers. In embodiments, the middle layer may include at least 75% by weight natural fibers. The middle layer also includes synthetic fibers that have a length within the range of 1 mm and 20 mm. The wipe may have a length weight weighted average fiber length of less than 4 mm and a wet CD strength of greater than 20 N/m. Each ply of the wipe may be formed by wetlaying the first and second exterior layers and a foam formed middle layer to form a web, imprinting the web with a structured fabric, and drying the web. The plies are then attached using a binder.
