PURPOSE: An embossed fabrics and method of making the same is provided for use as a forming, pressing, drying, TAD, pulp forming, or an engineered fabric used in the production of non woven textiles, which is in the form of an endless loop and functions in the manner of a conveyor. CONSTITUTION: An industrial process fabric is embossed in a device, such as a continuously operating two-roll calender having a preselected embossing pattern. The roll(s) of the calender may alternatively themselves be engraved or etched to provide the embossing. Embossing takes place with controlled temperature, pressure, speed and gap (between the rolls) settings. The fabric may be a forming, press, dryer or TAD fabric used in paper and pulp production, pulp forming fabric or an engineered fabric used to produce non woven textile products by melt blowing, spunbonding, hydroentangling or air laid needle punching.
