Tech/Engineering - Paper / Paper Manufacturing
English term or phrase: Wire
Esta palabra aparece en un texto sobre fabricación de papel tissue que se tradujo del finés al inglés. No sé si se refiera a malla o tela, ya que la plataforma de donde se extrajo este texto cuenta con un diccionario donde se define wire como "flat belt of plastic (or metal) mesh on which the paper or board web is dewatered."

De igual manera dejaré dos oraciones para contexto:
- The structure of the formed tissue paper can be quickly changed by changing the *wire* fabric.
- Gap former is a twin-wire former with good water removal since the web is formed between two wires, wherein the dewatering occurs in both directions.

Explanation:
The 'wire' is actually a conveyer belt (cinta rasportadora). The origin of the term 'wire' is explained in this Wikipedia page:

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Máquina_de_producir_papel

La máquina de Fourdrinier usaba una tela especialmente tejida dispuesta en un tamiz sobre una cinta transportadora (conocida como "alambre", ya que al principio estaba formada por una malla de finos alambres de bronce) en la sección de formación, donde una suspensión de fibra (generalmente madera u otras fibras vegetales) se drenaba para crear una lámina continua de papel.

Wire fabric
malla metálica


Explanation:
- la estructura del papel tisú formado puede ser rápidamente cambiada por la malla metálica.
- (la mesa) formadora de agujeros está tejida de alambres gemelos que presentan buenas propiedades de remoción del agua cuando la deshidratación ocurre en ambos sentidos debido a que presentan doble hilado.
