Felt Strips
Reduce Scratches During Profile Loading and Transfer
CALM felt strips provide soft and durable contact surfaces for loading baskets, transfer frames, and handling equipment, helping reduce scratches, dents, and impact damage during aluminum profile transfer.
Why Use Felt Strips?
Even after leaving the cooling table, aluminum profiles remain vulnerable to scratches during loading, temporary storage, and internal transfer.
Installing felt strips on baskets, racks, and support frames helps reduce direct metal contact and protects high-value aluminum finishes throughout the production process.
Material Options for Different Temperature Zones
Different production stages require different levels of heat resistance.
CALM offers both Nomex and Polyester felt strips, allowing manufacturers to select the most suitable material based on profile temperature and operating conditions.
