Carding wires from Graf are particularly gentle to fibers. Designed for consistent sliver quality and high process stability, they also offer an exceptionally long lifetime. Graf carding wires are suitable for cotton, man-made and regenerated fibers and will work across a wide range of carding applications, with numerous manufacturer systems and technologies.
The Graf portfolio covers carding wires for the widest possible range of card models and their demanding applications.
One of the daily challenges for spinning mills is creating consistent yarn quality from raw materials with significant variations.
Graf card clothing enables customers to produce fibers of equal quality without compromising on lifetime and process stability – even with higher levels of contaminated cotton. Increasing short fiber content can be easily achieved with the right Graf product.
Graf carding wires work with cotton, cotton blends, man-made or recycled fibers in any condition. Full flexibility delivers optimized yarn for all fabrics and textiles, from coarse to extra fine count yarn from Ne 8 to Ne 150.
Cards and their components are at the heart of a spinning mill and are crucial for the quality of the yarn. Graf Metallic Card Clothing meets that need thanks to its Swiss engineered design for consistent sliver quality plus high process stability.
Designed to handle up to 1 100 tons of material without grinding, TUCAN carding wire ensures Yarn IPI quality at an optimal, constant level. Its Swiss Engineered tooth design allows more fibers in the carding gap, enhancing carding performance and efficiency.
TUCAN requires no grinding equipment, skilled labor, downtime or troubles. Its innovative tooth design, featuring a long tooth backbone, elongated tip back and stump tip angle, handle up to 1 100 tons of material without any grinding required. Additionally, its higher stiffness and wear resistance, thanks to the MULTISHARP alloy, guarantee an even longer lifetime.
Benefits
Areas of application
The Cotton Yarn Package, consisting of the cylinder wire P 19 +40 S and the flexible flat resist-O-top C-60, is the perfectly matching card clothing which ensures better extended liftetime and higher process stability.
Highlights
Areas of application
Depending on the application and demands, Graf can supply the following alloys:
The unique wear-resistant alloy MULTISHARP guarantees a longer lifetime, particularly when using abrasive synthetic fibers. MULTISHARP also ensures a consistently high carding performance across an extended lifetime of at least +50% compared to CUTTYSHARP alloy and less maintenance-induced downtime.
Areas of application
Cotton, synthetic and cellulose fibers, for high-production cards
Recommended for abrasive fibers and high throughput speeds
Can be used for cylinder clothing
CUTTYSHARP for the highest demands and lifetime up to 1'100 t for cylinder clothing
Recommended for card production rates of 50 kg/h and more.
HIGH TECH is a steel alloy with special additives. Substantially increased lifetime compared to conventional clothing. Lifetime of up to 800 t can be easily achieved. Used for card production rates up to 50 kg/h.
