DRYING WIRE

摘要

The invention relates to a drying wire comprising machine-direction (MD) yarns, i.e. warp yarns (1), and cross-machine direction yarns (CMD), i.e. weft yarns (2a, 2b, 2c), the wire being a woven structure with 2.5 or more layers. The wire comprises surface wefts (2a) on at least one side of its surface, which surface wefts are made of a material that is more wear-resistant than the warp yarns (1). The surface wefts (2a) run on the surface of the wire at least over five warp yarns (1), having a long weft float. The weft yarns (2a, 2b, 2c) of the wire are to a great extent shrinkable in the longitudinal direction in heat, whereby, as a result of heat treatment of the wire cloth after the weaving, the surface wefts (2a) have bent to a curve outwards from the wire surface, extending thus essentially farther outwards than the warp yarns (1).
