Felt/Wire Stretchers
Felt & Wire Stretcher System
Automatic stretcher systems for maintaining optimal felt and wire tension.
Automatic stretcher systems for maintaining optimal felt and wire tension.
Proper fabric tensioning is essential for tissue machine operability and product quality. Parason's felt and wire stretcher systems provide the precise tension control that maintains fabric geometry, ensures uniform sheet support, and maximizes fabric service life across demanding tissue production conditions.
Tissue machines operate at speeds up to 1500 MPM where even small fabric tension variations can cause operational problems—sheet breaks from tracking instability, formation defects from uneven drainage, and accelerated fabric wear from localized stress concentrations.
The stretcher system lineup includes configurations for both forming fabrics (wires) and press felts, with drive options ranging from manual adjustment through electrical and pneumatic actuation.
