Answers to the questions we receive most about process fabric solutions.
Process fabrics are woven textiles - typically from synthetic or metallic yarns - used as forming fabrics, press felts, dryer fabrics, and filter belts in continuous industrial processes. Unlike cut mesh, process fabrics are often produced as endless belts or seamed rolls for use on moving process machinery.
WMW's process fabrics are used in Pulp & Paper (forming fabrics, Dandy covers, Mould covers, thickener fabrics), Building Materials (fiber cement forming fabrics, insulation board fabrics), Food & Beverages (juice press cloths, dewatering belts), Leather, and other specialty process industries.
Yes. WMW supplies both diagonal seam-joined endless fabrics and open-ended roll fabrics for various pulp and paper machine applications, including Dandy cover sieves for security paper and banknote manufacturing - one of the most precision-demanding applications in the industry.
WMW's process fabrics are produced from stainless steel (AISI 304 to 904L), phosphor bronze, polyester, nylon (polyamide), and hybrid metal-synthetic combinations, depending on the chemical, thermal, and mechanical requirements of the specific process.
