A seamed felt for use in a machine for producing a tissue web has a single-layer or multilayer base structure and at least one layer of non-woven fibers. The base structure has a textile structure with MD threads which form seam loops at the two front edges of the base structure. The fabric can be made endless by connecting its front edges by way of a seam. The seam can be formed by interlocking the seam loops of the two front edges and introducing a push-in element. The MD threads wholly or predominantly have a diameter between 0.25 mm and 0.45 mm, in particular between 0.3 mm and 0.35 mm, and the thread density of the MD threads is more than 37%, in particular between 37% and 45%. There is also described a corresponding machine and a method for producing a tissue web.

A sheet manufacturing method includes defibrating a defibration object into a defibrated material in the atmosphere, mixing, in the atmosphere, additive agents including resin into the defibrated material that has been defibrated, adding moisture to a mixture of the defibrated material and the additive agents after the mixing is completed, and heating the mixture that has been moisture-added.

A fibrous structure. The structure includes a plurality of semi-continuous knuckles extending from portions of the surface of the fibrous structure in a parallel path, wherein the plurality of semi-continuous knuckles are separated by adjacent semi-continuous pillow regions. Each semi-continuous knuckle comprises a plurality of discrete pillows, the plurality of discrete pillows are arranged in a spaced configuration along the path of each of the semi-continuous knuckle.

A method of forming a fibrous web on a papermaking machine including the steps of depositing a dilute fiber slurry out of a headbox to a forming area comprising a forming surface made up of a structured fabric, wherein the structured fabric is supported by a breast roll and a forming roll, and the forming area is devoid of any additional fabrics or belts other than the structured fabric, draining the dilute fiber slurry through the structured fabric, and drying the fiber slurry.

A press arrangement for a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web, in particular a paper, board or tissue web. The arrangement has at least a central roll and a first and a second mating pressing unit. The first mating pressing unit forms a first press nip with the central roll, and the second mating pressing unit forms a second press nip with the central roll. The central roll has a plurality of pressure sensors embedded in the central roll and arranged beside one another in the cross-machine direction, by way of which the pressure profile in the cross-machine direction can be determined in the first and in the second press nip. There is also disclosed a method for operating such a press arrangement.
