Embossing felt pads for hydraulic presses
The skin is put on the felt pad. A hot graining or ironing plate comes down to press against the skin in order to give the final touch. This process can be repeated several times till the full skin is grained or ironed.
DOLLFUS & MULLER felt pads are delivered in 100% wool, with bevelled edges. The wool is washed and carbonised so that no piece of trash remains inside the wool. The standard thickness is 20mm but other thicknesses are available. Concerning the density, in regards to the kind of leather processed and to the required embossing looked for, various density values are made (from 300 to 1000).
