Features & Benefits

Key characteristics that make this product the right choice for your paper machine.

Efficient Water Removal

Multi-layer batt fiber construction with optimized density gradient provides superior water handling capacity, achieving 48–52% sheet dryness after the press section — maximizing production efficiency.

Excellent Surface Finish

Fine-denier surface batt layer ensures minimal felt marking and superior sheet surface properties — critical for printing & writing grades, premium tissue, and high-quality packaging products.

High Compaction Resistance

Advanced needling technology and chemical treatments resist compaction under high nip pressures (up to 1,200 kN/m), maintaining consistent void volume and water handling throughout the felt life.

Uniform Moisture Profile

Precision manufacturing ensures consistent caliper and density across the full fabric width, delivering uniform CD moisture profiles for improved paper machine runnability and reel building.

Extended Operational Life

Premium PA/PET fiber blend and reinforced woven base construction deliver 45–90 days of reliable press section performance under normal operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this product — answered by our technical experts.

What press positions are your felts suitable for?
Expand
Our press felts are engineered for all press section positions including pickup, first press, second press, and third press. We customize felt design — weight, permeability, surface finish — based on the specific position requirements to optimize dewatering performance and sheet quality.
How do I select the right felt weight for my machine?
Expand
Felt weight selection depends on your machine's nip pressure, speed, paper grade, and press position. Generally: 1,200–1,400 g/m² for tissue pickup, 1,400–1,600 g/m² for standard press positions, and 1,600–1,800 g/m² for high-nip and demanding applications. Our technical team provides specific recommendations based on your machine configuration.
What is the typical break-in period for a new press felt?
Expand
Our press felts feature a pre-conditioned surface that minimizes break-in time. Typical stabilization occurs within 2–4 hours of operation, compared to 8–12 hours for conventional felts. This means faster achievement of target moisture levels and reduced startup waste.
Do you offer felt conditioning and chemical treatment options?
Expand
Yes, we offer various chemical treatments including anti-contamination coating, improved sheet release treatment, and enhanced abrasion resistance. We also provide comprehensive guidance on optimal felt conditioning practices including high-pressure shower specifications, chemical cleaning programs, and vacuum dewatering recommendations tailored to your machine.
