Cards are considered the heart of each spinning mill - no wonder that they are also referred to as “quality control” of the textile process. The card has the function to produce the first continuous sliver from a loose tuft composite, by opening the tufts to individual fibres and parallelising them. At the same time, knots (so-called neps) and trash particles are removed.

In the process, the cards of the TC series can show their unique strength: Their carding length, which is considerably longer than the one of conventional cards. It provides a perfectly aligned fibre composite, which - in the shape of a razor-thin, continuous fibre web - is formed into a sliver at the delivery side of the card. This sliver is then delivered to transport cans for evening-out in the next machine, the draw frame.
