Key characteristics that make this product the right choice for your paper machine.
1.5-layer construction delivers significantly better sheet quality and 30–50% longer life than single-layer fabrics at a modest price premium — the ideal upgrade path for improving paper quality without major cost increase.
Additional weft support system provides controlled drainage with fiber retention rates of 80–88%, improving sheet formation quality and reducing fiber loss compared to single-layer alternatives.
Adaptable design suitable for a broad range of paper grades including packaging, corrugating medium, and cultural paper — providing a versatile solution for multi-grade paper machines.
Extra weft yarns on the running side provide approximately 40% better abrasion resistance than single-layer fabrics, extending service life particularly on machines with ceramic dewatering elements.
Pre-conditioned surface treatment minimizes machine break-in time to 1–3 hours, allowing faster achievement of target sheet quality and reduced startup waste on paper grade changes.
