Abstract
An apparatus and process for removing water from a cellulosic web. The papermaking apparatus comprises imprinting member having an absolute void volume that enables a hydraulic connection to be formed between a cellulosic web and a capillary dewatering member when compressed in a nip. The absolute void volume is predetermined based on an estimate of the volume of water expressed from the cellulosic web.
Claims2
A tissue paper defining an X-Y plane and having a Z-direction orthogonal thereto, the tissue paper comprising a first plurality of regions, the first plurality of regions lying in a plane;
- and a second plurality of discrete regions extending outwardly from the plane, the second plurality of regions having a lower density than the first plurality of regions, the second plurality of discrete regions having at least one foreshortening ridge disposed therein, the at least one foreshortening ridge being spaced apart from the plane in the Z-direction.
