A method of forming a fibrous web on a papermaking machine including the steps of depositing a dilute fiber slurry out of a headbox to a forming area comprising a forming surface made up of a structured fabric, wherein the structured fabric is supported by a breast roll and a forming roll, and the forming area is devoid of any additional fabrics or belts other than the structured fabric, draining the dilute fiber slurry through the structured fabric, and drying the fiber slurry.

Papermaking machine that utilizes only a structured fabric in the forming of paper

A method for cleaning a belt of a through air drying papermaking machine in which a high pressure shower is configured to traverse across a width of the belt of the papermaking machine while ejecting water onto the belt, and a vacuum box is operatively connected to the high pressure shower. The high pressure shower has a width that is less than a full width of the belt.

System and method for cleaning of belts and/or fabrics used on through air drying papermaking machines

A structured tissue belt assembly including a supporting layer, a non-woven web contacting layer, and one or more laser welds that attach the bottom surface of the web contacting layer to the top surface of the supporting layer. The structured tissue belt assembly allows for air flow in x, y and z directions. In exemplary embodiments, the structured tissue belt assembly has an embedment distance between the supporting layer and the web contacting layer of 0.05 mm to 0.60 mm and a peel force between the web contacting layer and the supporting layer of at least 650 gf/inch.

Woven base fabric with laser energy absorbent MD and CD yarns and tissue product made using the same

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.

Systems and methods for cleaning composite laminated imprinting fabrics

A structured tissue belt assembly including a supporting layer and a nonwoven web contacting layer. The supporting layer has a top surface and a bottom surface and is formed of monofilaments including one or more layers of warp yarns interwoven with weft yarns in a repeating pattern. At least one of: a) at least some of the warp yarns; or b) at least some of the weft yarns, include laser energy absorbent material, and at least one of: a) at least some of the warp yarns; or b) at least some of the weft yarns include laser energy scattering material. Laser welds attach the bottom surface of the web contacting layer to the top surface of the supporting layer at points where the web contacting layer contacts the at least one of: a) the at least some of the warp yarns; or b) the at least some of the weft yarns that include laser energy absorbent material.

Composite laminated papermaking fabrics and methods of making the same

The invention relates to a clothing () for a machine to manufacture or refine a fibrous web, in particular a paper, cardboard, or tissue web, comprising a substrate () and a grid structure () applied on the substrate (), on which the fibrous web is transported when the clothing () is used as intended, wherein the grid structure (') comprises a plurality of first elements (′), all of which aligned in a first direction, and a plurality of second elements (′), all of which aligned in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, wherein the first elements (′) penetrate the second elements (′), forming the grid structure (′), such that an underside of the first elements (′) facing the substrate () and an underside of the second elements (′) facing the substrate () are located in a common plane. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a clothing.

Laminated paper machine clothing

Absorbent product including a laminate of at least two plies, wherein the absorbent product has a measured Valley Volume parameter greater than 11 microns and a Pit Density of greater than 25 pockets per sq·cm.

Method of making absorbent structures with high absorbency and low basis weight

A machine or apparatus for producing structured tissue or towel using a press section.

Papermaking machine with press section

Absorbent product including a laminate of at least two plies, wherein the absorbent product has a measured Y-Connected Area parameter greater than 20 and a Surface Channel Spacing of less than 2.5 mm. The absorbent product has high strength and low machine direction stretch.

Absorbent structures with high strength and low MD stretch

Absorbent product including a laminate of at least two plies, wherein the absorbent product has a measured Valley Volume parameter greater than 11 microns and a Pit Density of greater than 25 pockets per sq. cm.

Absorbent structures with high absorbency and low basis weight

The invention relates to a clothing () for a machine to manufacture or refine a fibrous web, in particular a paper, cardboard, or tissue web, comprising a substrate () and a grid structure () applied on the substrate (), on which the fibrous web is transported when the clothing () is used as intended, wherein the grid structure (') comprises a plurality of first elements (&#x2032;), all of which aligned in a first direction, and a plurality of second elements (&#x2032;), all of which aligned in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, wherein the first elements (&#x2032;) penetrate the second elements (&#x2032;), forming the grid structure (&#x2032;), such that an underside of the first elements (&#x2032;) facing the substrate () and an underside of the second elements (&#x2032;) facing the substrate () are located in a common plane. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing such a clothing.
