ost savings and growth in earnings, together with achieving the highest quality have
long been the central challenges for all paper producers. With its New-Tech press felts, Heimbach has been unlocking many doors to this for a considerable time. What follows are some con- vincing practical examples of this. Paper is not alone in being
heavily pressed. The whole paper industry is under more pressure than ever through digitisation and globalisation. Battling against this and scoring points with innovative technologies is the key challenge, and where Heimbach has always been a reliable partner.
Setting the course early Already in the 1990s, with the growing demands of the paper industry always in mind, Heimbach sought ways to preserve and

develop proven existing press felt technology whilst at the same time complementing this with new and meaningful developments. The result of this long and
intensive process was the introduction of a completely new press felt family: The New-Tech generation. This pioneering
position has been continuously ex- panded to the point where New- Tech press felts account for 80 per cent of their total supply. There is an obvious explanation for the extremely high and rapid growth: significantly better paper quality with lower production costs. New-Tech press felts are based
on a modular design with a unique bonding technology. This lends itself in particular to individual and specific application for every machine and position and takes into full account the steadily rising expectations and needs of paper makers and pro- cess specialists.
Base technology Almost 30 years ago, Heimbach was the first producer to bring non-woven press felts to the market, thus opening up the benefits and savings potential of nip dewatering to all paper pro-ducers. In the meantime the process has become the preferred drainage concept on faster paper machines across the world.
