(PRESS RELEASE) HEIDENHEIM, 14-Mar-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — The Infinity press felt family from Voith is established globally as a very good choice for heavy-duty press felts in continuous operation, in both seamed and endless versions. Since its market launch in 2011, customers worldwide have placed their trust in Infinity press felts. Infinity’s uncommon strength lies in its uniform and high-quality base fabric that ensures a laminar structure and secures the void volume over the entire operating life.

Examples of Infinity’s success can be seen around the world. The felts were used in a plant in South America, leading to a significant reduction in steam consumption of 9.6 percent. In addition, a new record was set for the service life of the felts, as they only had to be replaced after 97 days. Thanks to the press felts from Voith, a three percent higher dry content was achieved on average. The products Kinetic 3 +Peak, Kinetic 3, Infinity 3 +Peak and Infinity 3 Pro +Peak were used.

The Infinity press felts combine outstanding performance and durability, enabling consistent and reliable results over the entire service life. The uniform structure of the base fabric ensures improved fiber anchorage and optimum dewatering. The option of receiving the press felts with or without a seam also offers flexibility in application. The perfectly shaped seam loops enable quick and easy installation and ensure exceptionally high dimensional stability during operation.

Regardless of their location, customers can order the customized technical textiles to the highest standards via the Voith Paper Webshop to meet their specific requirements.
