Abstract

See full text

A seam for joining together the ends of woven fabric to form an endless belt is particularly suitable for joining the ends of woven synthetic dryer fabrics as used in the dryer section of paper making machines and is particularly applicable to joining the ends of those dryer fabrics in at least the machine direction of the fabric. A papermaking fabric comprising a woven fabric body having opposing ends, said fabric body having a system of MD-yarns interwoven with a system of CD yarns. The MD-yarns include first pairs of MD-yarns, second pairs of MD-yarns and third pairs of MD-yarns and the first and the second pairs of MD-yarns form two seam loops, while the third MD-yarns forms the binder. The loops are at identical length to each other over the whole fabric width. Such seam construction reduces marking and increases the seam strength and seam abrasion resistance.
