[Task] To provide an industrial two-layered fabric with a long durability which exhibits an excellent surface smoothness and excellent marking characteristics, while at the same time improving wear resistance characteristics to balance warps and wefts.

[Solution to the Task] The industrial two-layered fabric formed by binding at least one upper surface side fabric constituted by upper surface side warps and upper surface side wefts and at least one lower surface side fabric constituted by lower surface side warps and lower surface side wefts, by binding yarns, a portion of said lower surface side warps is woven with said upper surface side wefts to constitute binding yarns of the lower surface side warps serving as the binding yarn binding said at least one upper surface side fabric and said at least one lower surface side fabric, diameters of said binding yarns of the lower surface side warps are set to be the same as diameters of said upper surface side warps, and diameters of all of the lower surface side warps not serving as the binding yarns are set to be the same and larger than diameters of said upper surface side warps and said binding yarns of the lower surface side warps.

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.

A method of forming a fibrous web including the steps of providing a fiber slurry, depositing the fiber slurry between an inner forming wire and an outer forming wire, wherein the outer forming wire comprises a structured fabric and the inner forming wire contacts a segment of a forming roll, and rotating the forming roll so that the fiber slurry moves into contact with the structured fabric.

A clothing for a machine for producing fiber cement components includes a basic fabric having MD yarns and CD yarns. At least some of the MD yarns are formed from first multifilaments of a first material and second multifilaments twisted therewith of a second material. The first material has a higher tensile strength and a higher melting temperature than the second material. The MD yarns are heat-treated at a temperature between the melting temperature of the second material and the melting temperature of the first material, so that the at least partially melted second material forms a matrix after cooling, in which the first multifilaments of the first material are embedded. A method for producing the clothing is also provided.

A fabric or belt for a papermaking machine including a first layer that defines a web contacting surface and a second layer that supports the first layer. The first layer is made of extruded polymer and includes a plurality of first elements aligned in a first direction, a plurality of second elements aligned in a second direction and extending over the plurality of first elements, and a plurality of open portions defined by the plurality of first and second elements. The second layer is made of woven fabric. The first layer is bonded to the second layer so that the first layer extends only partially through the second layer and an interface formed between the first and second layers includes bonded and unbonded portions and airflow channels that extend in a plane parallel to the first and second layers.

Provided is an industrial two-layer fabric satisfying basic characteristics of a fabric. The industrial two-layer fabric pertaining to the present invention has at least a first structure and a second structure in the weave repeat thereof, the first structure being formed by a combination of two upper-surface-side warps and a single lower-surface-side warp, the second structure being formed by a single upper-surface-side warp and a single lower-surface-side warp, the first structure and the second structure being disposed adjacent to each other, the upper-surface-side warps in the first structure being formed by a warp binding yarn having the function of binding an upper-surface-side fabric and a lower-surface-side fabric, the combination of two upper-surface-side warps forming the first structure being disposed adjacent to each other and constituting a partial rib weave at the surface of the upper-surface-side fabric.

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 structure for use in industrial fabrics such as paper machine clothing and engineered fabrics. The structure is a bicomponent extruded elastomeric netting or mesh having a high degree of both compressibility under an applied normal load and excellent recovery (resiliency or spring back) upon removal of that load.
