Do you recognize this:
The shift starts smoothly — then something feels off. A sheet break. Poor drying. Press felt performance drops again without clear warning. Suddenly, the team’s scrambling, production slows, and pressure builds.
Instead of making confident adjustments, operators are reacting to unexpected changes. Managers see KPIs slide in the wrong direction without the data needed to respond effectively. And through it all, you are expected to rely on supplier-reported “felt performance” and assume it’s enough.
Whether you are leading the mill or running the machine, the frustration is familiar: You want to spot problems earlier, adjust before things go wrong, and build consistency into your operation.
Here’s what too many teams are dealing with:
The same felt issues keep coming back — without warning or explanation
Every shift feels like it could unravel at any moment
There’s no clear way to measure felt performance, let alone improve it
KPIs are slipping, but the root cause stays hidden beneath daily noise
You're still relying on suppliers to evaluate their own products — and hoping for the best

What papermakers say about working with Feltest
Here’s what mill leaders and production specialists say about using Feltest tools and insights to improve machine performance.
“Since using the Feltest Capto, our PM fabric installation has become much easier and safer. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to any other papermakers looking for a fabric clamping solution”
“We have been using the Capto felt puller from a company called FELTEST. These clamps have been met with great feedback at our site. It makes the operator's task of hanging on to a fabric during fabric changes a lot easier. The guys love it.”
"Capto: in my experience, it is one of the most appropriate tools to dress the paper machine. Feltest, thank you for introducing these tools to the market."
With the Capto, the operators no longer have blisters on their fingers after a felt installation."
"Highly recommended 👌"
“Happy with Feltest service!”
