  • Patent number: 11473244
    Abstract: Clothing is provided for a machine for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web. The clothing has a substrate. The substrate has a top side, an underside, two side edges and a useful region between the two side edges. The useful region has a plurality of through-channels, which connect the top side to the underside of the substrate. An inner surface of at least one through-channel, preferably of the majority of all the through-channels, more preferably of all the through-channels in the useful region of the substrate, has a mean roughness depth that is greater than 4 ?m, preferably greater than 6 ?m, more preferably greater than 8 ?m. The clothing of this type is produced using a laser.

  • Patent number: 9359722
    Abstract: A woven wire for use in a paper, cardboard, or tissue manufacturing machine, has a first fabric layer providing a web-contact side and a second fabric layer providing a machine-contact side. The layers have machine-direction threads, cross-direction threads, and binder threads. A first fabric layer has a weaving pattern of interwoven first MD threads, first CD threads and binder threads. The second fabric layer has a weaving pattern of interwoven second MD threads and second CD threads. The first and second fabric layers are interconnected by binder threads. The binder threads are interwoven with MD threads and/or CD threads of the first and of the second fabric layers. The first MD threads, the first CD threads and the binder threads have a circular cross-sectional face. At least some or all second MD threads have a cross-sectional face with a flattened shape different from a circular shape.

  • Patent number: 9169598
    Abstract: A clothing fabric for a paper machine has two or more endless strips, which are each formed by a film-like web spliced along a joint to form a film-like web that is endless in the direction of circulation of the fabric. The endless strips are connected to one another at the side edges with the joints of two endless strips that are connected to each other are arranged to be offset in relation to one another with respect to the direction of circulation of the fabric.

  • Patent number: 8815057
    Abstract: A fabric for a papermaking machine is configured as a belt, the two side edges of which are configured in each case as closed lines. Furthermore, the belt is formed in one layer from a solid material and has pores which form passages between the two surfaces of the belt. The belt has regions with a width of approximately 400 micrometers (?m) or less. These regions extend in the longitudinal direction over the entire circumference of the belt, transversely with respect to the side edges, and include no pores formed therein.

  • Publication number: 20140027080
    Abstract: A pulp dewatering fabric includes a pulp-side first woven fabric layer for receiving the cellulose pulp material to be dewatered and a running-side second woven fabric layer. The first woven fabric layer is formed with first longitudinal threads which run in a belt longitudinal direction and first transverse threads which run in a belt transverse direction. The second woven fabric layer is formed with second longitudinal threads which run in the belt longitudinal direction and second transverse threads which run in the belt transverse direction. The first woven fabric layer and the second woven fabric layer are joined to one another by connecting threads. Second floats are formed by the second longitudinal threads or the second transverse threads on a running-side outer side.

  • Publication number: 20130333792
    Abstract: A continuous fabric belt with intersecting threads and a method to produce the belt, so that within fabric seam region at least two strip-shaped regions which extend over the entire width of fabric seam and contain meeting points are arranged between strip-shaped fabric regions in which there are crossovers between warp- or machine directional threads and weft or cross-machine directional threads. The crossovers are materially connected by transmission welding.

  • Patent number: 8574403
    Abstract: A fabric belt for producing a web material, the fabric belt including a first layer on a web material side and a second layer on a machine side of the belt. The layers each having a basic weave connected to each other by binding threads extending in a binding thread direction. The layers having base binding threads extending both in and transverse to the binding thread direction. The binding threads form binding segments which are successive in the binding thread direction in the second layer. The binding threads are tied off on one base binding thread of the second layer extending transversely to the binding thread direction. The binding segments formed in the second layer are arranged in a binding pattern repeat extended in and transverse to the binding thread direction along a binding segment diagonal progressing obliquely to the binding thread direction and transverse to the binding thread direction.
