Abstract: An installation for producing a fibrous material web, in particular a long-fiber paper or wet nonwoven web, contains a binder wire section having a binder wire for applying an aqueous binder to the fibrous material web, and a dryer section having a dryer fabric for drying and consolidating the fibrous material web. The binder wire section and the dryer section are arranged at a distance from each other, so that the fibrous material web is led from the binder wire to the dryer fabric in a free draw. At least one air extraction device is arranged at the edge of the installation in the region of the distance between the binder wire section and the dryer section.

Abstract: An inclined-wire former for producing a fibrous web, in particular a long-fibered paper or wet-laid nonwoven web, includes a wire that runs over a breast roll, subsequently runs inclined at an angle with respect to the horizontal, before it is deflected at a deflection point into a substantially horizontal direction. A headbox in the inclined section of the wire applies a fibrous suspension to the top side of the wire. At least one dewatering element is arranged on the bottom side. The headbox has a front wall which defines, together with the wire, an outlet gap for the at least one fibrous suspension. The front wall of the headbox extends in the wire running direction beyond the deflection point of the wire, such that the outlet gap is arranged above the substantially horizontally extending portion of the wire.
