Paper plant machine felt is a textile material consisting of compressed and interlocked fibers, typically made from polyester, wool, or a blend of synthetic and natural fibers. Felt has a specific level of porosity that allows water to pass through while retaining fibers. This property is crucial during the dewatering process, as it aids in sheet formation by allowing excess water to drain away from the wet pulp. The harsh environment of a paper mill requires materials that can endure wear and tear over time. Felt is designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures, and chemical treatments, ensuring longevity even in demanding conditions.

 

In the forming section of a paper machine, felt is used to support the wet pulp as it begins to transform into a paper sheet. The felt helps to remove excess water, allowing the fibers to bond and form a continuous sheet. During the pressing process, felt plays a crucial role in the dewatering of the paper sheet. It helps to apply pressure and remove more moisture, supporting the sheet formation while ensuring that the final product retains its shape and quality. In addition, regular assessments of felt condition can help determine the need for replacement, preventing issues such as reduced performance and quality of the final paper product.

 

Felt is an essential material in the paper-making process, contributing significantly to the overall efficiency and quality of production. Welcome to email me for more details of our paper and pulping machine.
