Xerium Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: XRM), a leading global
manufacturer of industrial textiles and roll covers used primarily
in the paper production process, continues to advance its position
as the leading innovator in paper machine clothing technology by
announcing full commercial availability of two new press clothing
applications designed to enhance sheet quality, improve machine
efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.
Impact press fabric technology combines innovative raw
materials, highly compressible base structure elements, and
exclusive needling technology to deliver ultra-high press
performance; and Finetexx forming fabric technology represents the
ultimate solution for sheet quality, machine efficiency and reduced
energy consumption.
“After nearly two years of Xerium-funded research and
development and many months of customer-funded testing, these
break-through products demonstrate our ongoing commitment to
partner with our customers to reduce their operating costs,” said
Stephen R. Light, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman
of Xerium Technologies.
IMPACT: Impact offers a unique combination of innovative
raw materials, highly compressible base structure elements, topped
with exclusive premium needling technology to deliver unsurpassed
press performance. Impact technology utilizes hydrophilic base
yarns aligned perfectly parallel in order to provide an ideal
combination of pressure uniformity, mark-free surface, exceptional
dimensional stability and immediate nip saturation.
FINETEXX: Finetexx is produced with the exclusive EDC
technology, which provides the ideal combination of high drainage
rates with sheet-forming technology. The specially engineered warp
combination of the finetexx provides higher fiber support without
restricting the drainage capacity. With finetexx’s more open sheet
side, drainage pressures are reduced favoring lower vacuum loads.
In addition, the increased mesh density in the cross-machine
direction provides for a more forgiving operational window.
