PAPER FORMING FABRIC AND/OR TISSUE MOLDING BELT AND/OR MOLDING BELT WITH PREDETERMINED PERMEABIILITY RANGE AND OTHER PARAMETERS

摘要

A forming fabric for what is described as an ATMOS system or a TAD machine is disclosed. The forming fabric includes a permeability value of between approximately 100 cfm and approximately 1200 cfm, a paper surface contact area of between approximately 0.5% and approximately 90% when not under pressure and tension, and an open area of between approximately 1.0% and approximately 90%. A belt press for a paper machine can utilize the forming fabric.
