Aqua-Flex®
Conventional press felt
with woven base fabric
- Anyfit®
-
Innovative multi-axial laminated press felt!
- Features
-
- Higher resistance to compaction than conventional laminated press felts
- A high degree of void volume
- Consistent dewatering performance
- Long service life
- The secret of Anyfit's compaction resistance
-
Anyfit®
Conventional laminated press felt
Unlike conventional laminated press felt, the base fabrics of Anyfit consist of several multi-axial woven fabrics.
This unique configuration of the base fabrics leads to excellent resistance to compaction under high pressure loadings.
- Shoe Press Belts
-
Shoe presses are a popular solution to achieve higher dewatering performance at the press section of a paper making process.
With higher pressure loadings and longer dwell time of shoe presses it is possible to remove even larger amount of water out of wet paper web than conventional roll presses.
Shoe press belts, also called “Sleeves”, are indispensable parts of shoe presses.
Nippon Felt has been trying hard to deliver optimal shoe press belts to our customers in corporation with Yamauchi Co., Ltd.
By offering not only press felts but also shoe press belts, we suggest comprehensive solutions to maximize the dewatering efficiency of shoe presses.
- Industrial Textile Products
-
In addition to papermaking products, Nippon Felt is also engaged in producing industrial textile products in various fields, such as aluminum production, bag filters, slate manufacturing and so on.
Some examples
-
- Heat resistant felts for aluminum extruders
-
Heat resistant tubes, belts and flat felts are popularly used for conveyors to prevent scratches and noise.
-
- Needled filter fabrics for bag filters
-
Needled filter fabrics made of materials such as polyester, polypropylene, heat-resistant polyamide, and PTFE are mainly used for bag filters of dust collecting equipment at factories.
-
- Felts for slate and building materials
-
Endless felts similar to press felts for paper making machines are used for machines which manufacture slate and construction materials. However, the designs are different in terms of wear resistance and chemical resistance.
