Redefining Efficiency in the Supply Chain
With global warehouse automation investments hitting $110B by 2027 (LogisticsIQ), polyester felt is becoming essential for friction reduction and precision handling. Amazon’s robotic fulfillment centers now deploy felt-based solutions to achieve 99.99% package handling accuracy.

Engineering Breakthroughs

• Friction Control:
  • 0.08-0.12 dynamic friction coefficient (ASTM D1894).
  • Self-lubricating strips reduce maintenance by 70%.
• Durability:
  • Withstands 10M+ conveyor cycles (ISO 3408-2).
  • -40°C to 150°C operational range (MIL-STD-810H).

Case Study: DHL’s Fully Automated Hub
DHL’s Leipzig facility utilizes:

• Felt-lined robotic grippers for fragile items.
