Abstract

A method and machine for the manufacture of a fiber web, in particular of a tissue web or of a hygienic web, in which the fiber web is formed on a soft clothing with fine pores and the clothing is guided over a surface subject to suction and in which the fiber web is transferred from a soft clothing with fine pores directly onto a TAD wire of a TAD drying apparatus. An optimum quality of the respective final product is achieved with an energy effort which is as low as possible, in particular, the energy effort required with vacuum generation in the dewatering of the fiber web is reduced.
