METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORMING A SEAM IN A PAPERMAKER'S FABRIC AND SEAMED PAPERMAKER'S FABRIC

摘要

Papermakers fabrics and a method for installing the papermaking apparatus is disclosed. Papermakers fabric is provided with a plurality of heat-shrinkable joint connecting the machine direction yarns and cross machine direction yarns of the end portion to form a plurality of cross machine direction yarns, a plurality of machine direction yarns in a continuous loop, and the fabric. Papermakers fabric is formed by providing a fixture for securing a plurality of heat shrink tubing sections. Two or more of the corresponding thread to papermakers fabrics have been inserted into each of the heat shrink tubing sections, applied to the heat shrink tubing sections open. When heat is applied to the heat shrink tubing sections, the heat-shrinkable tubing section is reduced in size to form a tight joint between two sildeul inserted therein. ; Papermaking equipment, papermakers fabrics, heat shrink tubing sections, joints, fasteners, machine-direction, cross machine direction yarn, loop
