PAPER MACHINE CLOTHING, PARTICULARLY A PRESS FELT

摘要

This invention relates to paper machine clothing, particularly a press felt, comprising a support and comprising filaments which are formed as profiled monofilaments with a profile which differs from a circular cross-section. In order to achieve good dewatering properties by a simple manufacturing process, profiled monofilaments are present, which are helically profiled. The helical profiling has already been imparted to the profiled monofilaments during the manufacture thereof and they are therefore present free from torsional stress in the paper machine clothing.
