Press Felt — Batt-on-Base Series
Press felts support the sheet and assist mechanical dewatering in the press section. Base fabric and batt selection depend on press position, paper grade, nip loading, speed and conditioning. Provide the current felt specification and operating problem to establish the suitable construction and supply parameters.

Full specification sheet for engineering evaluation
| Construction | A base fabric with needled batt layers; confirm the base and batt configuration for the press position. |
| Dimensions | Submit current felt length, width and measurement conditions. Confirm ordering dimensions against the machine drawing. |
| Weight and caliper | Provide the existing specification and measurement conditions to establish targets for the press position. |
| Air permeability | Include units, test pressure and felt condition. Air permeability alone does not determine dewatering performance. |
| Press conditions | Record press configuration, nip load, speed, incoming and outgoing sheet dryness, and paper grades. |
| Conditioning | Record shower and Uhle box arrangements, contamination and the current cleaning method. |
| Acceptance criteria | Agree dimensions, materials, test methods, tolerances and required reports in the technical specification. |

Differentiation & Selection Guide
How this model compares to other PAPTEX options and competitor alternatives
vs Other PAPTEX Models
- Forming and dryer fabrics
Forming fabrics serve the forming section and dryer fabrics serve the dryer section. Press felts serve the press section. These products are not interchangeable; identify the machine position before selecting a fabric.
vs Competitor Alternatives
- Existing supplier specification
Compare technical specifications, acceptance conditions and run records for the same position and paper grade. Matching material names does not establish equivalent dryness or service life. Review a replacement technically and evaluate it in an agreed trial.
