Abstract
A press fabric for a pulp machine is a weft-abrading type fabric manufactured by weaving a warp monofilament and a bundled yarn. The bundled yarn has fine water-sucking spaces formed between raw filaments of a small diameter by bundling up the raw filaments. Monofilaments may also be used as the wefts in combination with the bundled yarns. The bundled yarn forms the most protuberant crimp to the surface of the fabric which results in improved water-sucking ability, washing ability, showering resistance, and abrasion resistance.
