HOCKS’ PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT KEEPS UP WITH THE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VARIOUS TYPES OF MACHINES.

The large number of types of machines on which felting is used as support material calls for the development of a broad range of products. Thus, we supply endless needle felts for the following machinery:

• CONTINUOUS DECATIZING

• SHRUNK CALENDERING

• VIGOUREUX PRINTING

• TRANSFER PRINTING

• POLROTOR

• SANFOR

We have the widest possible range of products on offer with the most varied technical parameters. The inner circumference and the width of the endless needle felts fit the dimensions of the machine. The surface weight of the needle felts can be adjusted according to the use on various types of machines.

Different materials, material thickness and surface weight result in different effects on the surface of the fabric or knitted material which is receiving treatment.Needle felt belts are generally made from wool fibres, special polyester fibres, aramid as well as PES-Aramid blends. These are hydrolysis-resistant to prevent the destruction of the blanket at extreme temperatures and high humidity. At the same time these felts are used as base material for our silicone blankets. Needle felt belts can be made with different technical parameters from several components as per customer specification.
