Papermaking apparatus and method.

摘要

The disclosure is of an improved dryer fabric (felt) (10) for use in a paper making machine to improve the drying of paper (24). The improvement resides in part, in employing a monofilament dryer fabric characterized in part by an exceptionally smooth surface to support the paper moving through the dryer section. The smooth surface is obtained by constructing the fabric so that substantially all of the monofilament warp (22) and weft yarns (14) at the surface peak in a single plane.
