Abstract: An industrial fabric (30, 40, 45) is provided, in particular for transporting a nonwoven web while producing same, having a product side (PS), which is in contact with the nonwoven, and a machine side (MS), which is in contact with transport devices of a system (1) for producing the nonwoven. The fabric (30, 40, 45) has MD threads (32, 33, 43, 44, 48, 50), which run in the running direction of the nonwoven web, and CMD threads (31, 41, 42, 52), which run perpendicularly to the MD threads, said threads being woven together. At least two layers of MD threads (32, 33, 43, 44, 48, 50) are provided which are stacked one over the other in pairs and form product contact MD threads (32, 43, 50) and non-product contact MD threads (33, 44, 48). At least the material of each product contact MD thread (32, 43, 50) facing the product side (PS) forms a contact angle, measured according to the Wilhelmy plate method, of at least 80°, preferably at least 90°, more preferably at least 100°.

Abstract: In an apparatus for the production of a non-woven web, structure, or article using a spun-bonding process in combination with a forming fabric which is woven having flat CMD yarns, flat MD yarns or both with some or all of such yarns being conductive so as to dissipate static electricity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the production of nonwovens. The nonwovens including a spunbonding apparatus for forming a first web of nonwoven material on a first belt, and a meltblowing apparatus for forming a second web of nonwoven material on a second belt. The second belt moves in a direction opposite the first belt and after formation, the second web is deposited on said first web to form a composite spunbond and meltblown web.
