Product Description
XYLOCROSS is a triple-layer woven base construction with three interconnected MD yarn systems. It provides sheet support, drainage, stability, void volume, compressibility and wear resistance. Finer MD yarns on the surface act as micro-foils, drawing water into the felt rapidly. The design supports fast start-up and improved nip dewatering compared with conventional laminated felts.
Applications
- Press positions where nip dewatering is essential.
- Most suitable for vibration-prone press positions.
Advantages
- Water flow is optimally directed from the paper side to the roll side.
- Less re-wetting and better pressure uniformity.
- Low air permeability for better nip dewatering.
- Better life and dewatering, mainly in the nip.
- Lower transversal flow resistance and fast start-up.
Features
- Three MD yarn systems interconnected with a single CD yarn system.
- Excellent shock-absorption properties.
- High stability and drainage performance.
