A simple formula states: The greater the distance covered by the fibres on the cylinder, the ­better the carding quality.
With a carding section of more than 2.8 metres, only Trützschler cards offer optimal quality. It is precisely this carding section that – in addition to the ideal number of flats – also ensures a sufficient number of carding segments and cleaning units.

There is a formula for this as well: More width while maintaining roll geometries means generally more productivity.
However, the accuracy required in the setting limits the desire for more width. Starting at a certain width, the elements surrounding the cylinder would have to be so massive that the resulting costs would be in no economic relation to productivity.

We have included everything in the TC 11 that Trützschler stands for: More than 120 years of experience, a team of first-class engineers, as well as countless analyses, simulations and field tests. The end result was clear: A working width of 1.28 m represents the perfect balance between productivity and efficiency. Any occurring forces can be optimally handled up to this width by an intelligent design.
