Field Expertise

Troubleshooting with
Dr. Kym

Expert advice for your tannery felt issues — backed by 20+ years in the field.

Issue 01

Width Shrinkage / Twisting

Twisting is usually caused by lack of parallelism between cylinders. In new felts, draw a parallel line to verify if the felt is twisting. Check and align your machine cylinders.

Issue 02

Width Elongation & Thinning

Elongation and thinning can reduce the felt's useful life. While it doesn't always cause immediate problems, monitor thickness regularly. Consider a denser felt grade for high-pressure applications.

Issue 03

Felt Forms a Wave

Check the parallelism of the cylinders and verify that an appropriate felt density is selected for the required pressure. Rebalance tension across the full width.

Issue 04

Felt Sheds Fiber

Fiber shedding can occur at the beginning of a felt's life. The felt will typically self-clean during the first few days of use. If it persists, contact us — it may indicate the wrong felt grade.

Field Notes

Common Felt Problems —
Solved

Wrinkles & Folds

Usually caused by incorrect mounting direction. All felt fibers have a direction — they should allow leather to slide back when entering the machine. Check the direction arrow and try tightening the felt.

Texture Visible on Leather

The felt has reached the end of its useful life, or the wrong grade was selected. For very delicate thin leather, use long Merino wool fiber felts for a completely clean surface.

Poor Embossing Definition

Depending on whether the problem appears from the start or after long use, causes vary. Check felt hardness, surface condition, and whether the correct felt was selected for your plate and leather type.
