TRIPLE LAYER INDUSTRIAL FABRIC FOR THROUGH-AIR DRYING PROCESS

摘要

A triple layer woven industrial fabric, particularly suitable for through-air drying applications, has a paper side (PS) layer and a machine side (MS) layer of polymeric warp and weft yarns woven to a repeat pattern wherein all the warp yarns are arranged as vertically stacked pairs, all the weft yarns comprise pairs of intrinsic weft binder yarns, and each pair of weft yarns forms an unbroken weft path in both the PS layer and the MS layer whereby when either the first or second member of the pair passes from the PS layer to the MS layer, the other member of the pair passes from the MS layer to the PS layer at an exchange point located between at least one common pair of warp yarns.
