Abstract
The invention concerns a dewatering belt ( ), in particular as a drying screen for paper machines, which is assembled from a plurality of plate-shaped planar elements ( ) that, in order to adjust the permeability, have passthrough openings ( ) and/or leave gaps ( ) between them, the planar elements ( ) being coupled to one another, by way of flexible connecting cords ( ) which pass through the planar elements ( ), in such a way that the longitudinal forces acting on the dewatering belt ( ) during operation act on them. The dewatering belt ( ) is characterized in that the connecting cords ( ) extend in the longitudinal direction of the dewatering belt ( ) and are anchored at their ends in end pieces ( ) which can be coupled to one another.
