Clothing comprising splitted fibers

摘要

Paper machine cover comprises a support structure and a nonwoven layer consisting of fibers split longitudinally to form elongated fiber segments. Independent claims are also included for: (1) producing a paper machine cover by carding a nonwoven layer consisting of longitudinally splittable fibers and splitting the fibers longitudinally to form elongated fiber segments; (2) conditioning a circulating cover with an outer layer whose surface is contactable with a transport or production material and which comprises a nonwoven layer with splittable fibers by impacting the outer layer with a pressurized fluid jet so that the splittable fibers are split longitudinally to form elongated fiber segments.
