Forget Maslow. Paper manufacturers have just one true need: felt permeability perfection. We know that getting the felt permeability right isn’t just part of the job, it’s the part that keeps everything else running. Whether it’s basic dewatering or next-level optimization, this “non-hierarchy” pretty much sums it up.

Need help hitting that sweet spot in your press section? We’ve got data-driven tools and insights to get you there, no pyramid climbing required.

Felt issues rarely show up alone, they often come with stress, downtime, and other tough trade-offs. We're curious: what of these four problems frustrates you the most about your press felts?

👍 New felts break-in too slow
❤️ Felts clog or compact too quickly
😢 Felt quality is too variable
😡 The felt doesn't meet the supplier's promises

As press felts load up with fines, fillers, and water, their air permeability can drop by over 30% in just one day even if they still look clean. Reduced permeability means poor dewatering, sheet quality issues, and wasted energy.
But here’s the kicker: most mills only discover the problem after runnability suffers. With Feltest’s AirSpeed Sensor, you can measure felt permeability directly on the running machine before it becomes a bottleneck.

Quick checks = quick action = better paper.

BYE BYE BUENOS AIRES

LatamPAPER 2026 - for the first time in Argentina - is a wrap. Time to fly back home and reflect on the past two days in Buenos Aires.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped to chat with Marcel and David on the floor, and to everyone who joined Hernan Baquera's presentation on how mill managers can improve paper machine performance without CAPEX.

Great to participate with this event, loaded with papermakers who care deeply about their machine, their team, and finding smarter ways to run better.

To everyone we met: thank you for your openness, your questions, and your trust. This is exactly why we show up.

Argentina, thank you for the great time,

LatamPAPER, see you in next year in Mexico! 🤝

It's the conversation the industry has been needing.
