  • Apparatus for cleaning a papermachine fabric
    Patent number: 7494569
    Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a papermachine fabric has a device for removing contaminants from a fabric. The device has a contact surface which comes into contact with at least an outer side of the fabric and which is constructed and arranged in such a way that the contaminants can be transferred from the fabric to the contact surface. The apparatus is particularly useful in the cleaning of dryer fabrics having sticky or tacky contaminants in paper production.

  • MECHANICALLY AND THERMALLY RESPONSIVE POLYMER YARN FOR INDUSTRIAL FABRIC APPLICATION
    Publication number: 20070130696
    Abstract: Yarn for an industrial fabric which is subjected to a heat-set temperature during production, the yarn being made from a polymeric material, the polymeric material including a first phase and a second phase. The melting temperature of the second phase is equal to or less than the heat-set temperature and the melting temperature of the first phase is higher than the heat-set temperature.
