Abstract
An improved papermakers' fabric for use in papermaking, cellulose and similar machines, comprising a first layer of cross-machine direction yarns, which layer is intended in the position of use of the fabric to face the material to be formed, a second layer of cross-machine direction yarns stacked approximately under the first layer of cross machine direction yarns, which layer is intended in the position of use of the fabric to face the machine drive rollers, and machine direction yarns interweaving said two cross-machine direction layers. The paperside cross-machine direction yarns are woven for maximum cross-machine fiber support with alternate 6 float and 8 float sections. The machine side cross-machine direction yarns have a 14 float, ensuring high cross machine yarn volume available for wear before the load bearing machine direction yarns are subject to wear. The machine direction yarns are interwoven such that two adjacent machine direction yarns pass under the machine side cross-machine direction yarns directly under the paperside 6 float section, ensuring protection of the machine direction yarn and resulting in longer fabric life.
