Press Fabric
BOM Press Fabric
PAPTEX BOM (Batt-on-Mesh) Press Fabric represents the industry standard for modern press section dewatering. A fine needled batt layer is anchored to a robust woven mesh base fabric, combining superior sheet surface quality with the dimensional stability needed for high-speed, high-load press nips. Engineered for tissue, packaging, kraft, and board grades at speeds of 800–1,500 m/min, this fabric delivers 30–80 CFM air permeability with 1,200–1,600 g/m² weight for optimal nip dewatering. The fine batt layer ensures excellent sheet release at the pick-up point while the mesh base resists compaction throughout the fabric's service life. Trusted by tissue producers for its ability to maintain consistent moisture profiles across the full machine width, BOM fabric directly impacts downstream drying efficiency and final product quality.

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.

Needle Felt Press Fabric
PAPTEX Needle Felt Press Fabric delivers the ultimate in sheet surface quality for the most demanding paper grades. A 100% polyamide needled batt is constructed on a woven base fabric with optimized surface batt density, providing exceptional sheet smoothness with virtually zero fabric marking — critical for tissue, packaging, and specialty paper where surface appearance directly determines product grade and value. With 1,000–1,400 g/m² weight and 1.8–3.0 mm thickness at 20–60 CFM air permeability, this fabric excels at gentle, uniform dewatering in presses where sheet quality takes priority over maximum water removal. The optimized surface batt density ensures clean, reliable sheet release at the pick-up point. The go-to choice for premium tissue producers and specialty paper mills where sheet surface integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
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 varies by machine conditions and paper grade. Under normal conditions, press fabric typically runs 60-120 days.
Can the size be customized?
Yes. All fabrics are custom-manufactured to your exact machine width, length, and specification requirements. No standard sizes — every order is made to measure.
What is the delivery time?
Standard delivery is 15-25 days, depending on product complexity and current production capacity. Expedited options are available for urgent orders. Contact us to confirm your specific delivery timeline.
Do you provide installation guidance?
Yes. We provide detailed installation guidance documentation, video tutorials, and can arrange on-site technical support. Remote video support is also available for real-time assistance.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is 1 piece per size. We understand every paper machine has unique needs — we provide the same high-quality custom service even for a single fabric order.
