Press Fabric Innovation – Hybrid Technology
�Non-woven, elastomeric roll side structure.
� Elastomeric Yarn provides resiliency for vibration dampening and steady state pressing throughout felt life.
� Compressibility provides a quick startup and increased nip dewatering if applicable.
� MD rollside Flow Channels provide low MD flow resistance and increased dewatering rates.

� Optimum “bridging effect“
� Lower flow resistance in Z-direction
� No groove closure
� Elimination of fabric wear (roll side)
� High uhle or nip dewatering depending upon application
� Optimum utilization of the void capacity under pressure
Combination of Poly Roll with maximum surface desig n with HT Fabrics will optimize press performance
