Atrojet press felt, consisting of batt module and the Atrojet module combined with a woven base in the substructure 3
contact area yields optimum pressure transfer and contact pressure on the Yankee cylinder. Selecting an open-textured roll side base enables the press felt to be cleaned more efficiently and improves the resistance to compacting and contamination. This increases the service life of the felt. It is therefore not surprising
that Heimbach considers that it has a good chance of gaining market share in the currently growing tissue sector. “With this product we wish to make future
inroads into the tissue sector to a much greater degree than we have so far,” confirmed Kiefer.
At the cutting edge “The paper industry is our pacemaker,” Pirig said, in summing up. “The range of raw materials is constantly expanding, as is the range of products.” He considers Atrojet to be a product that meets the needs of the future. “Because this felt need not be changed even when changing between batches of raw materials or rapidly changing
recipes and grammages,” he said. The paper makers in whose mills test runs were carried out seem to have already recognised the potential of the new technology: Heimbach has already received repeat orders from many of them. The company has invested a seven-figure euro sum at its facility in Switzerland to be prepared for the expected high demand after introduction to the market: Within the Heimbach group the Olten facility is considered a competence centre for multi-axial products in web
technology. Atrojet production was due to be in full swing by the end of March 2016. Franz Kiefer and Jochen Pirig
are certain: “Atrojet represents the next evolutionary step in felts sector. Here we are presenting the product that will dominate through the next decade.” More information from Heimbach Switzerland AG, Solothurner Str. 65, CH-4601 Olten, Switzerland. Tel: 41 62 206 0202.
