Our factory
How we make pleating machine felt
01
Nomex fibre
We use 100% Nomex meta-aramid fibre.
It holds its strength at high heat and does not melt or drip.
The flame resistance is in the fibre itself, so it does not wash out or wear off.
02
Carding
Carding opens the fibre and combs out impurities and short lint.
We control temperature and humidity so the web stays even.
An even web is what keeps the finished felt the same thickness from edge to edge.
03
Web laying and needling
The web is cross-laid to about 300 g/m² per mm of thickness.
Needle punching then builds a sleeve 3mm to 6mm thick.
The weight per mm sets how much the sleeve cushions the pleat.
04
Endless base fabric
The Nomex fibre is needled onto an endless base fabric.
The base mixes staple fibre with Kevlar filament.
An endless base has no seam, so nothing prints through onto the fabric.
05
Sizing
Each sleeve is made to your width and circumference.
Standard circumferences are 520, 540, 560 and 580mm.
If your machine is not on that list, send the roller size and we make it to order.
06
Needle check
Every finished piece passes through a metal detector.
No broken needle leaves the factory inside the felt.
A broken needle tip left in the felt would mark your rollers or your product.
