What they have in common
Both materials act as a contact and support surface for the steel strip, helping to protect the finish during processing. In both cases, manufacturing can be adapted to your equipment's dimensions.
Felt or carpet for slitters? How to decide
Industrial felt and carpet both serve protection and support functions on the line, but they are not always interchangeable. This guide helps you orient the decision.
When to lean toward each option
The choice depends on the point of the line, the type of contact required and the conditions of the steel you process. As a practical rule:
- Felt: contact and support where finish protection is the priority.
- Carpet: continuous support areas where a resistant surface is required.
- When in doubt, an application review with the technical team is the safest path.
How we review your case
Share the point of the line, the steel type, the finish and the required measurements. With that information we prepare a recommendation and a quote.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use felt and carpet on the same line?
Yes, it is common for different points of the line to use different solutions depending on the required function.
