Transport belt and method of making thereof

摘要

A transport belt and method of making a transport belt for a web-processing machine, in particular a paper machine, paperboard machine or tissue machine, is provided. The transport belt has a load-bearing carrier structure which is covered at least in sections by a polymer areal structure, as the result of which the polymer areal structure and the load-bearing carrier structure make contact with each other in sections either indirectly or directly. The contact region between the load-bearing carrier structure and the polymer areal structure comprises sections in which the carrier structure can move relative to the polymer areal structure.
