    The document provides recommendations for conditioning press felt. New felt should be conditioned with a pressure of 8-12 bar using an oscillating high pressure shower with a Uhle box. After a few days, the pressure can be increased to 12-20 bar. For seam felts and endless felts, a slightly lower maximum pressure of 17 bar is recommended. The document also lists different soil types and the recommended cleaning methods, such as high pressure shower, alkaline wash, acid wash, or solvent wash. It notes the standard nozzle size and spacing for an oscillating high pressure shower used to condition press felt.

    PRESS FELTS PRESS FELT CONDITIONG

    The most common method to condition the felt is the oscillating High Pressure shower with Uhle box. The recommendation for pressure is: New felt, new TMO => 812 bar (116..174 PSI) After few days => 12 20 bar (174 290 PSI) Shock wash (short time) => 35 bar (500 PSI) NOTE! For the seam felts and endless felts with mono yarn base (=non twisted yarns), use slightly lower pressure. Recommendation max. 17 bar (250 PSI).

    For chemical washing certain agents can be used:

    SOILING TYPE
    0-fibre Resin and resin sizes Carbonate and aluminium salts Insoluble fillers e.g. clay, talk and titanium dioxide

    CLEANING METHOD
    High pressure shower Alkaline wash Acid wash

    High pressure shower Neutral or slightly alkaline detergent with dispersion agent e.g. polyphosphate Solvent wash

    PRESS FELTS
    The standard oscillating High Pressure shower has 1,0mm (0.39) nozzles, the distance between the nozzles about 25cm (10) and the stroke 2 x nozzle distance just in case to cover possible plugged nozzle

    The distance from the felt should be:

    and the jet angle according nr 1, slightly with the felt:
