Papermakers Felt Weaving Machine Parts for Textile Machinery

Papermakers' felts are the heavy technical textiles that carry the wet paper web through the press section of a paper machine, and they are woven on some of the largest looms in the textile world — wide, massively built weaving machines working heavy yarns under high tension. Parts for papermakers' felt weaving machines are therefore a heavy-duty corner of the loom spares trade: beams, beam heads, canisters and loom components built for machines by makers such as Jäger, Jurgens and Texo.

Felt Looms and Their Spare Parts

A felt loom weaves base fabrics many metres wide, often with heavy monofilament and spun yarns in the same structure, at tensions ordinary apparel looms never see. Its beams are correspondingly large — the beam and beam head sizes in this trade dwarf dress-goods practice — and its wearing parts are built or rebuilt to carry the loads. Tranoco of the USA, listed below, covers this field directly: parts for papermakers' felt weaving machines — Jäger, Jurgens and Texo — alongside beams for all types of weaving machines, canisters, warper beams and beam heads, and mounting pads for isolating and reducing vibration under heavy machinery.

The Wider Tranoco Range Around Felt Weaving

Felt weaving sits inside a mill's wider weaving operation, and the same catalogue serves it: Flexhold yarn package adapters and holders (one adapter fits most any size cone or tube) for yarn supply; parts for velvet and upholstery weaving machines — Van De Wiele, Guesken, Gunne MAV / SACM and Dornier — for the mill's other heavy looms; and miscellaneous loom parts including harness frame parts, pulleys and ceramic thread guides. For a felt mill maintaining ageing European looms, a single supplier covering beams, beam components and loom parts across these makes simplifies the spares problem considerably. Felt machinery more generally is covered by the site's felt machinery directory, linked from this page.
