Ichikawa provides high-performance products through the development of unique technology and rigorous quality control to meet the demands of paper machines that are becoming larger and faster.
Papermaking felt is essential in the press section of a paper machine: squeezing moisture from the wet paper in the wire section; smoothing the surface; and then moving the paper to the dryer section. So, a paper machine must excel in three fundamental ways at a high level: dewatering, smoothness, and running stability. As paper machines have grown larger and faster in recent years, the demand for stability and advanced functionality has increased. To meet these demands, Ichikawa uses a precisely controlled digital process to ensure uniformity throughout the manufacturing process, accompanied by rigorous quality control at every stage.
