THREE-LAYER FABRIC FOR THE PAPER-MAKING MACHINE

摘要

A papermaking fabric has a fabric repeating unit that comprises eight top MD yarns and eight bottom MD yarns that extend in machine direction; three top CMD yarns interwoven only with the top MD yarns; three bottom CMD yarns interwoven only with the bottom MD yarns; and two pairs of binding yarns interwoven with both the top MD yarns and the bottom MD yarns; the binding yarns of each pair cross each other under respective transition yarns; the binding yarns of each pair, together, leave exposed on a top surface of the fabric only single isolated transition yarns, all separated from each other in cross machine direction by a plurality of adjacent top MD yarns.
