Abstract

A dewatering fabric for an ATMOS system or a TAD machine that includes a caliper of between approximately 0.1 mm and approximately 15 mm, a permeability value of between approximately 1 cfm and approximately 500 cfm, an overall density of between approximately 0.2 g/cm3 and approximately 1.10 g/cm3, and a weight of between approximately 100 g/m2 and approximately 3000 g/m2. A belt press for a paper machine can utilize the dewatering fabric. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
