Abstract
An apparatus is provided for conditioning a fabric being advanced in a machine direction in a papermaking machine. The fabric has an outer side adapted to engage a paper web and an opposing inner side. Such an apparatus comprises a fluid-emitting device configured to wet the fabric with a fluid so as to clean the fabric. An arcuate member disposed downstream of the fluid-emitting device is configured to engage the outer side of the fabric. More particularly, the arcuate member is configured to have the fabric wrapped at least partially thereabout such that the advancing fabric is centrifugally dewatered. Associated systems and methods are also provided.
