What papermakers say

  • With the Capto, the operators no longer have blisters on their fingers after a felt installation.

    David G. (GB)
  • We have been using the Capto felt puller from a company called FELTEST. These clamps have been met with great feedback at our site. It makes the operator’s task of hanging on to a fabric during fabric changes a lot easier. The guys love it.

  • Capto: in my experience, it is one of the most appropriate tools to dress the paper machine. Feltest, thank you for introducing these tools to the market.

Feltest Equipment BV, Eerbeek, The Netherlands.

Press felt designer Niek Lensvelt built the original Caliper Gauge because no instrument could measure felt compaction on a running machine. Today, the company is run by Marcel Lensvelt and a small team of paper professionals.

  • Used in over
    600 mills
  • Across
    90+ countries
