Dryer Fabric Upgrade for Company A’s High-Grade Filter Paper Line
Company A is a manufacturer of high-grade industrial filter paper and automotive filter paper. As its customers placed higher requirements on paper surface quality, fabric stability and continuous machine performance, Company A needed a dryer fabric that could support smooth operation on a high-speed paper machine while reducing seam marks, improving running stability and maintaining consistent drying performance.
The key requirements from Company A included:
- Stable running performance on a high-speed paper machine;
- Smooth paper-side surface;
- Strong and reliable seam construction;
- Stable fabric structure and tension distribution;
- Durable edge treatment for long-term operation;
- Consistent performance for high-grade filter paper production.
To meet these requirements, NEWCO recommended the XP-WF Series Flat Warp & Flat Weft Dryer Fabric.
The XP-WF Series uses flat warp and flat weft polyester monofilaments imported from Europe, and the edge treatment materials are sourced from Germany. This material selection helps improve fabric quality, dimensional stability, seam reliability and overall machine running performance.
The XP-WF Series also features a patented weave structure designed for demanding paper machine applications. Its FP and FS seam designs provide high tensile strength, smooth seam transition and stable operation without distortion. More importantly, the seam splice is positioned on the back side of the fabric and is prevented from coming through the fabric body to the paper side by the top-layer MD yarns. This helps reduce paper-side seam marking and supports better final paper quality.
