Equipment for manufacturing a fiber structure in the present disclosure includes: a defibrator configured to pulverize and defibrate a fiber material containing fibers; a transport pipe through which a defibrated material defibrated by the defibrator is transported; a melting-material mixing section configured to mix a melting material into the defibrated material transported through the transport pipe; a fibrous-web forming machine configured to accumulate the defibrated material in which the melting material is mixed and form a fibrous web; a sheet supply section configured to supply a shape-maintaining sheet to the fibrous web; and a heating-and-compression mechanism configured to compress the shape-maintaining sheet and the fibrous web between planar plates and heat the shape-maintaining sheet and the fibrous web to a temperature equal to or higher than a temperature at which the melting material softens.

The present invention provides multi-ply creped tissue products, and in particular embodiments creped wet pressed tissue products, having substantially higher per-ply basis weights, such as from about 20 to about 30 gsm, without the negative effects often associated with higher basis weight. As such, the tissue products are generally soft and flexible, having a softness value (measured as TS7) less than about 12.0 and a Stiffness Index less than about 20. While being soft and flexible, the instant tissue products are durable enough to withstand use, such as having a GMT greater than about 600 g/3″ and a Burst Index greater than about 12.0.

This system is intended for paper and cellulose manufacturing process, in order to enable partial or full talc replacement in controlling pitch and stickies, in addition to helping in retention and drainage in paper and cellulose manufacturing processes. The chemical methodology and processes employed herein primarily involve the mix of adsorbent clays such as bentonite and hydrotalcite in the form of a slurry mix, obtained through a thermodynamic equipment called continuous flow shearing chamber (502), which provides delamination in pressure and temperature conditions, able to enhance the exposure of adsorption sites.
