A covering is particularly suited for use in a machine for producing and/or finishing a paper, cardboard, tissue or pulp web. The covering has a basic structure formed as a part of a flat woven material, which flat woven material is designed as a woven material by interlacing warp threads and weft threads. The portion of the flat woven material has a plurality of sections that are formed integrally with each other, with at least one property of one of the sections differing from the respective property of at least one adjacent section.

An industrial textile (1) having a longitudinal direction (MD) and a cross direction (CMD) and a first surface and a second surface, the industrial textile (1) extending in the cross direction from a first edge (E1) to a second edge (E2). The industrial textile (1) has a double warp which comprises a first warp having first machine direction yarns (U1, U2) and a second warp having second machine direction yarns (LI, L2). The yarns (U1, U2) of the first warp are arranged above the yarns (LI, L2) of the second warp and the yarns of the first warp are at least partially offset in respect of the yarns of the second warp. The industrial textile has a weft having cross machine direction yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4). The yarns (U1, U2) of the first warp and the yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) of the weft bind themselves to each other according to a first predetermined pattern and the yarns (LI, L2) of the second warp and the yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) of the weft bind themselves to each other according to a second predetermined pattern. The first predetermined pattern and the second predetermined pattern form a textile structure which has the cross machine direction yarns (W1, W2, W3, W4) at least on two different levels in the thickness direction of the industrial textile (1).

A colloidal silica solution which includes two or more colloidal silica compositions or suspensions having differing particle sizes and specific surface areas, the compositions or suspensions resulting in a multimodal particle size distribution in which the solution or suspension can be bimodal in nature and composed of, but not limited to, particles with a mode of 4 nm and 20 nm or composed of particles 7 nm and 12 nm. The solution or suspension can also be trimodal and composed of, but not limited to, 4 nm, 7 nm and 15 nm or 3 nm, 5 nm, and 20 nm. The solution or suspension can also include other multimodal systems which would give superior water drainage and fiber and ash retention on paper machines. The colloidal silica solution is a drainage and retention aid in the making of paper.

A papermaker's fabric includes a series of repeat units, wherein each of the repeat units includes: a set of top machine direction (MD) yarns having a first diameter; a set of bottom MD yarns having a second diameter larger than the first diameter; a set of auxiliary bottom MD yarns having the first diameter; a set of top cross machine direction (CMD) yarns interwoven with the top MD yarns to form a top fabric layer; a set of bottom CMD yarns interwoven with the bottom MD yarns and the auxiliary bottom MD yarns to form a bottom fabric layer; and a set of stitching yarns arranged in pairs, wherein at least one of the stitching yarns of the pair interweaves with the top and bottom fabric layers.

The object of the present invention is to provide a fabric with a thinned thickness which exhibits excellent rigidity, good anti-extension property, good wear resistance, good hydration property and good surface smoothness property.

The present invention includes one upper surface side fabric constituted by warps on the surface side and upper surface side wefts, one lower surface side fabric constituted by lower surface side warps and lower surface side wefts, at least one warps on the surface side function as a warp binding yarn, two warps on the upper surface side are woven to form a pair on the upper surface side as the ribbed cord fabric, a ratio of the number of the warps on the upper surface side to that of the warps on the lower surface side is 2:1.

The machine (10) comprises a Yankee cylinder (35), having a cylindrical side surface (35S), rotating around an axis (35A) thereof, and a continuous flexible member (17) comprising a first surface (17A) suitable to receive a layer of cellulose pulp (S), comprising cellulose fibers and water, and a second surface (17B), opposite to the first surface (17A). A guide roller (31) is also provided, around which the continuous flexible member (17) is driven. The second surface (17B) of the continuous flexible member (17) is in contact with the first guide roller (31). The machine further comprises a first pressure roller (33) around which the continuous flexible member (17) is driven, arranged downstream of the guide roller (31) with respect to a feeding direction of the layer of cellulose pulp (S). The first pressure roller (33) and the Yankee cylinder (35) define a first pressure nip (34), inside which the continuous flexible member (17) is pressed by means of the first pressure roller (33) against the cylindrical surface (35S) of the Yankee cylinder (35) in order to remove water from the layer of cellulose pulp (S) through the continuous flexible member (17).
