Papermaking felt and a method of producing the same

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a papermaking felt having good productivity and a laminated structure using 2 or more plain weave base fabrics that can be bonded to each other, wherein the joint portions do not open when a batt fiber layer is attached or when the felt is used, and to provide a method for producing the same. This is achieved by a papermaking felt made from an MD yarn material in the felt running direction (MD direction) and a CD yarn material in the felt cross-direction (CD direction), comprising a combination in which 2 or more base fabrics are directly overlapped with each other, which have a joint portion in which the MD direction end portions are joined which comprise a 1st MD direction end portion and a 2nd MD direction end portion wherein, with regard to the base fabrics having all included joint portions, the equations (1) and (2) hereinafter are satisfied when the maximum distance in the MD direction between the joint portions of the base fabrics is x (cm) and the minimum distance thereof is y (cm). x≤750  (1) 10≤y  (2)
