BOM Press Fabric

Laminated Press Fabric

PAPTEX Laminated Press Fabric is built for the most extreme press section conditions — high nip loads, abrasive furnishes, and applications where standard BOM fabrics fail prematurely. Multiple base fabric layers are laminated together before applying the batt surface, creating an extraordinarily robust structure that resists compaction, delamination, and mechanical wear. With 1,500–2,200 g/m² weight, 3.0–5.0 mm thickness, and the ability to withstand nip loads up to 1,000 kN/m, this fabric is the definitive choice for kraft, corrugated, and board machines running shoe presses or high-load roll presses. The multi-layer base construction delivers 40–60% longer service life than single-base press fabrics. Documented at Nine Dragons Paper: a Laminated Press Fabric reduced press section breaks by 66% while maintaining consistent moisture removal over an 80-day run — nearly double the life of the previously used standard BOM fabric.
