Dry formed-web embossing apparatus

摘要

A dry-formed web is transferred at speeds in excess of 300 feet per minute onto a stable, porous, endless belt and both the dry-formed web and the belt are conveyed through the embossing nip. The combination of the dry-formed web and the belt are guided into the embossing nip so that the web and belt partially wraps the embossing roll before entering the embossing nip. As the embossing roll contacts the web, some of the air in the web is forced through the porous belt.
