Flawless felts and wires
are essential for a fault-free paper machine operation and consistent paper quality. However, the regular machine clothing change can be complex and time-consuming. Any aid that simplifies the change procedure contributes to increasing the machine availability. With : flyCor felt and wire support poles made of carbon fibre, changing endless paper machine clothing can be done on the fly - that saves time and money.
: flyCor felt and wire support poles made of carbon fibre
are exactly tailored to the practical requirements of the paper machine operators. Due to their design features and their material properties, they are lighter than machine clothing change poles made of aluminium or steel and significantly more robust and longer lasting than conventional carbon fibre support poles. Their problem-free handling makes the machine clothing change easier and faster, even with paper machines that have a very large web width.
