Product Description
AQUAPLY-S is a double-base laminated felt made from two separate single-layer bases. In the typical 1+1 design, the bottom base provides void volume and load-bearing properties, while the top base is selected for the application to create a uniform pressure distribution in the press nip.
Applications
- Pick-up and press positions on high-speed machines for fine paper and newsprint.
- High-nip-load press positions for finer paper.
- Press positions with nip loads of 100–150 kg/cm, and shoe press positions with nip loads up to 800 kg/cm.
- Bi-nip presses producing finer grades of paper and kraft paper.
- Conventional roll presses on packaging and board grades.
Advantages
- High dewatering level and consistent dewatering.
- Void-volume retention under high nip load.
- Resists grooved/blind roll marking.
- Good sheet smoothness and minimized two-sidedness.
Features
- Higher base-fabric composition than conventional double laminated felt.
- Steady-state performance.
- High compaction resistance.
- Uniform pressure distribution.
- Better water handling capacity.
