摘要: A method therefor for forming an air-laid web of dry fibers suitable use in a wide variety products ranging from bath and facial tissues to towels having basis weights on the order 13 lbs./2880 ft.2 50 high-speed production basis, wherein is characterized by random array individualized substantially undamaged mechanical action controlled cross-directional profile, its freedom nits, pills, rice like, thereby improving both appearance tensile strength web. The full-width feeding 2-dimensional flow control fiber screening system described no cross-flow forces are created system, ensuring uniform weight profile. subjected only minimal disintegrating at all stages process subsequent hammermilling and, thus, shortening, curling and/or rolling aggregated masses minimized. which present stream fed centrifugally tangentially separated soft flocs removed while maintaining relatively low separation recycling less than 10%.
