Press Fabric Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about selection, installation, usage, and maintenance.
How do I choose the right press fabric for my paper machine?
Selecting press fabric involves considering paper grade, machine speed, basis weight range, and drainage/drying/press requirements. Our engineers recommend the optimal fabric structure and parameters for your specific conditions.
What is the typical service life?
Service life depends on paper grade, speed, tension, cleaning, contact elements, contamination and hydrolysis conditions. It should be evaluated from the current fabric record and failure mode rather than promised as one fixed number of days.
Can the size be customized?
Please provide machine width, length and operating conditions. Available specifications and dimensions are confirmed through technical review and formal quotation.
What is the delivery time?
Delivery timing depends on the confirmed fabric construction, dimensions, production schedule and destination. Confirm timing in the formal quotation after technical review.
Do you provide installation guidance?
State installation-support needs in the enquiry. Available documentation and support methods are confirmed for the product, market and project.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantity and order conditions depend on the confirmed construction, dimensions and production requirements. Confirm them in the formal quotation.
