Heat-resistant felt.
Made for your line.
From 180°C to 650°C, PD FELT makes PBO, Kevlar, Nomex and polyester felt belts, roller sleeves, pads and blankets — cut to the width, length and temperature of your machine.

We are a felt factory in Foshan, China, making the belts, roller sleeves and pads that keep hot aluminium, fabric and steel moving without a mark.
Every piece starts as loose fibre on our carding line and leaves as a needled, heat-set part made to your drawing. We supply aluminium extrusion plants, textile finishing mills, commercial laundries and steel processors, and we match the fibre to the temperature your part actually sees.

Our products
Endless Felt Belts
Seamless belts for extrusion cooling tables, flatwork ironers, pleating machines and galvanizing lines. 6–12mm thick, up to 40m long.
Felt Roller Sleeves
Roller covers for run-out, cooling and saw gauge tables, with four resin hardness grades. Spacer bar covers for aging furnaces too.
Felt Pads & Strips
PBO pads that replace graphite at the press exit, Kevlar and Nomex cooling-bed slats, basket strips, ironer padding and slitting pads.
Felt Blankets
Heat transfer, heat press, sanforizing, compacting and calender blankets, plus 4000 g/m² padding for large flatwork ironers.
Guide Tape
PPS and polyester guide tape for flatwork ironers in 100m and 400m rolls, plus Nomex felt tape with 3M adhesive.
Heat-Resistant PPE
Aluminized suits, hoods and boots for 1000°C radiant heat, and Kevlar, PBO and aluminized gloves for 500–800°C contact heat.
Materials
Choose by temperature
PBO
The top heat class. PBO needled onto a Kevlar base (3+7mm as standard) for the press exit and the hot-saw zone, where it replaces graphite.
Kevlar
Para-aramid with very high strength for run-out tables and cooling bed levels 1 and 2. Yellow, or green with 20% carbon.
Nomex
The meta-aramid workhorse: cooling bed belts and sleeves, heat transfer and pleating blankets, ironer belts and padding.
Aramid Blend
Nomex/polyester blends (20/80, 30/70, 50/50) for heat press pads, compacting felts and calender blankets at a lower cost than 100% Nomex.
PPS
Chemical- and hydrolysis-resistant fibre for guide tape on high-speed, oil-heated flatwork ironers.
Polyester
The economical choice for saw and packing tables, coating lines, steam-heated ironers, sanforizing felts and slitting pads.
Rubber
Endless natural rubber belts for the compression unit of sanforizing machines, 50–72mm thick, hardness 40±2.
Silicone
Endless silicone belts for fabric finishing lines, with a hard-wearing surface that releases cleanly.
Industries
Four industries, one rule: the working temperature decides the felt.
01
Aluminium Extrusion
From the press exit to the packing table: PBO, Kevlar, Nomex and polyester belts, roller sleeves, pads, spacer covers and basket strips.
02
Textile Finishing
Blankets and belts for heat transfer printing, heat press, pleating, sanforizing, compacting and calendering.
03
Commercial Laundry
Ironer belts, ironer padding and guide tape for steam- and oil-heated flatwork ironers.
04
Steel Processing
Kevlar and PBO belts for galvanizing lines and polyester tension pads for coil slitting.

How every belt, sleeve and pad is made
01
Heat-resistant fibre is opened and combed into a clean, even web.
Carding machine
02
The web is laid onto the base fabric and needle-punched into an endless belt, roller sleeve or flat pad.
Endless-belt & roller machines
03
Rollers, belts and pads are resin-treated to the hardness grade the job needs, from soft R0 to rigid R3.
Resin line
04
Parts are cured and heat-set so they hold their size at working temperature.
Drying oven
05
Belts are cut to width, pads and strips to length, and spacer sleeves are sewn.

06
Every piece passes a metal detector so no broken needle reaches your line.

Each piece is ink-jet marked with its specification for easy re-ordering.

Let's get started
Four numbers and we can quote. If you are replacing a worn part, a photo of the old label is often enough.
01
Width
The working width of the belt, sleeve or pad, in millimetres.
02
Length or diameter
Belt circumference, or the roller diameter and length for a sleeve.
03
Thickness & weight
Felt thickness in mm and, if you have it, the weight in g/m².
04
Temperature
The temperature the part actually sees. This decides the material.
Frequently asked questions
The size of the belt, sleeve or pad, the machine model and a photo, plus your delivery address and post code so we can calculate shipping. If you are replacing a part, a photo of the old label is often enough to start.
Send us the size for a quotation. We issue an invoice, you pay the deposit to our bank account and production starts. The balance is settled before shipment, then we send the goods and the shipping documents.
It depends on the temperature the part sees: PBO for 600–650°C, Kevlar for 480°C (up to 500°C), Nomex for 260°C (up to 280°C) and polyester up to 180°C. Tell us where the part runs on your line and we will recommend the grade.
No. It usually means the roller is not turning freely. A sleeve that turns only once or twice when spun by hand will darken within days, while a correctly running Kevlar sleeve keeps turning seven or eight times.
