General Informationon Metallic Card Clothings

SURFACE TREATMENT

Depending on the application and fibre materialthere are special surface treatments available.

We distinguish:

Blank Cleaned clothings without

scales on the tooth flanks.

Most suitable for processing

cotton with high trash content

or delicate man-made fibres.

Usually applied for doffer

clothings.

Polidur Improved surface finish achieved

by electrochemical polishing.

This process also results in the

complete deburring of the

clothing. Used in the roller card

range for the processing of

delicate man-made fibres.

Needle-Finish Electrochemical polishing and

NF rounding of all edges on the

clothing teeth. Used for special

applications only (circular

combs, top combs, clothings

for OE-combing rollers).

General informationon Flat Clothings

GRAF strives to continuously improve theproduct range and today is in a position tomanufacture the card wire and the foundationmaterial for the flat clothings in addition to theprofile material for the metallic card clothings.Subsequently the entire production is in thehands of GRAF, i.e. all production stages such

as the manufacturing of foundation materialand wire as well as flat setting and confectioning is subject to the same stringent quality control as-suring our customers of impeccable quality of the finished product. A new surface treatment guar-antees additional resistance to wear and therefore extended life time of the GRAF flat clothings.

resist-O-top

resist-O-top is a flexible flat clothing applied forthe processing of cotton and blends of cottonand man-made fibres. It is a further developmentof the well-known PRIMATOP range of flats pro-gressively set without straight gaps between therows of teeth. This setting pattern favours theextraction of short fibres and trash as well as theelimination of neps. The newly developed settingpattern influences the so-called free passageresulting in a improved distribution of the cardingforces and a positive e�ect on the positioningof the teeth. The resist-O-top is set more denselyin the exit zone in comparison to the PRIMATO-Prange. The wire number for all types is chosenwith a di�erence of 5 numbers.

RSTO C-41/0 410 p.p.s.i. Applied for cotton up to Ne 20 (coarse short staple cotton)

RSTO M-48/0 480 p.p.s.i. Used for cotton or blends of man-made fibres and cotton (Ne 20–40)

RSTO F-55/0 550 p.p.s.i. Used for cotton (Ne 30 and finer )

PRIMATOP

The PRIMATOP is a range of flexible flat clothingsintended for the processing of cotton andman-made fibres. The density is progressive, i.e.the entry side, seen in the direction of the materialflow, is open and becomes continuouslynarrower towards the exit side. PT 43/0 andSPACETOP are set with card wire with a di�e-rence of 4 numbers.

PT 40/0-5 400 p.p.s.i. Applied for regenerated fibres and cotton up to Ne 20 (coarse, short staple cotton)

PT 43/0 430 p.p.s.i. Applied for yarns from Ne 20 – 40 (cotton and fine man-made fibres)

SPACETOP 520 p.p.s.i. Used for yarns Ne 30 and finer (fine, long staple cotton)

SUPRATOP

SUPRATOP is a flexible flat clothing withoutany straight gaps used for the processing ofman-made fibres. The setting pattern positivelyinfluences the parallelism of the fibres and theelimination of melted fibre particles.

General informationon Flat Clothings

InLine-X-Top

InLine-X-Top is a range of flexible flat clothingsintended for the processing of cotton and man-madefibres. These flat clothings with straight gaps, diagonal setting pattern and a di�erence of 5 numbers in the wire is particularly suitable for application on cards without stationary flats above the lickerin and medium production ranges.

ILXT M-35/0 350 p.p.s.i. For processing medium fine and coarse man-made fibres

ILXT M-40/0 400 p.p.s.i. Applied for man-made fibres (< 1,0 – 1,4 dtex)

ILXT C-40/0 400 p.p.s.i. Used for cotton or blends of man-made fibres with cotton (Ne 20 – 40)

ILXT C-40/0-7 400 p.p.s.i. For the processing of regener- rated fibres, set with a di�erence of 7 numbers in the wire

ILXT F-50/0 500 p.p.s.i. Applied for cotton (Ne 30 and finer)

DIAMANT / PICCO-DIAMANT

DIAMANT and PICCO-DIAMANT are semi-rigidflat clothings for the processing of man-madefibres as well as bleached cotton and rayon. Thespecial tooth position results in only minimalwaste. The tooth points of the PICCO-DIAMANTrange undergo additional side-grinding leadingto increased carding performance as well as extended life time.

METALLIC TOP

The M-TOP is a metallic flat clothing for the processing of man-made fibres and regenerated fibres. Compared to conventional flat clothings itis designed to withstand highest carding strainand is most suitable for high production rates.

MTM 31/0 310 p.p.s.i. For the processing of man-made fibres exceeding 1,5 dtex

MTR 42/0 420 p.p.s.i. Applied for regenerated fibres

DI/PD 24/0 240 p.p.s.i. Applied for man-made fibres exceeding 3 dtex

DI/PD 33/0 330 p.p.s.i. Used for man-made fibres of 1,0– 3,0 dtex, as well as bleached cotton and rayon

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORIGINAL EXECUTIONS THERE ARE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AVAILABLE

C-Cleaner II

One of the deciding factors for increased produc-

tion rates with equal quality or else improvements

in quality with equal production rates on today’s

generations of high production cards is the appli-

cation of additional carding elements. Older types

of cards can be easily retrofitted with such carding

elements with a minimum of e�ort.

GRAF has been manufacturing the C-Cleaner II

for years already and at the same keeps improving

its design. The stationary flat clothings,made from

our CUTTY-SHARP alloy guarantee long lifetime

and the straight forward replacement of the cloth-

ing strips.

C-Cleaner II, Systems ofStationary Flats and Pre-OpeningSegments

SPECIAL FEATURES

l Sturdy clothing carrier made from aluminium profile, resistant to deformation.l Utmost straightness of the carding elements allows accurate setting.l Wide range of clothings resistant to wear with 60–860 p.p.s.i.l Clothing strips easy to replace.

ADVANTAGES

l Pre-opening segments below the lickerin favour the opening of the fibre tufts, leading to improved trash elimination.l The C-Cleaner II above the lickerin, with and without trash elimination, results in the additional opening of the fibre material and protects the flat clothings which in turn extends their life time.l Above the do�er, the C-Cleaner II, with or without trash elimination, improves the fibre parallelism and eliminates further neps, leading to a positive e�ect on the yarn values.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY

Depending on the type of card as well as the space available it ispossible to install 3–9 stationary flats, with or without mote knifeon the following cards: Falubaz CZ 690/693; Howa, Toyoda ;Marzoli C20–C300; Platt 600/1000; Rieter C1/1– C4;SSI KB 83–KB 88; Textima 1453/1454; Trützschler DK 700–DK 760.

Hardened mote knife

It is well known, that the edges of the mote knifes of Rieter,

Trützschler and Crosrol high production cards become worn and

blunt relatively quickly. This has a detrimental e�ect on the trash

extraction, the flat clothings are subject to additional strain and

the quality of the card sliver su�ers.

This prompted us to manufacture these mote knives in hardened

execution. The knives are specially laser-hardened (in order to

maintain their straightness). Laser-hardened refers to only the

edge of the mote knife being laser-hardened.

Conversion of existing Systems

Di�erent and varying carding systems and statio-

nary flats can be found particularly on older

types of cards. In most cases customers are not

in a position to replace the worn clothings indepen-

dently but will have to send them to a service

workshop for replacement. For this reason

GRAF has designed a number of di�erent conver-

sion sets, allowing customers the e�cient,

straight-forward and economical replacement

of the clothings in-mill.

ADVANTAGES

l Most precise clothing strips which allow accurate settingl Simple replacement of the clothing stripsl Most economic

PRIMACOMB

The high performance circular comb was developed

in years of research and in close co-operation with

RIETER. It permits an optimum combing process on

all RIETER combers which, based on the excellent results,

are initially equipped with PRIMACOMB.

PRIMACOMB, High Performance Circular Comb forRIETER Combers

SPECIAL FEATURES

l Ingenious distribution of points established by numerous in-field trials and optimum tooth geometry lead to a substantial reduction in neps as well as thin and thick placesl The alternately slanted arrangement of the individual sections leads to more inten-

sive combingl Special surface treatment eliminates the so-called running-in phase and allows for

remarkably extended cleaning intervals resulting in longer life time of the cleaning brushesl Minimum manufacturing tolerances guarantee fast and safe exchange of the combsl The application of metallic clothings allows life times of 800 –1000 tons/comber to be reached without problems in the short – and medium staple range. Life times of 600 – 800 tons can be expected in the long staple range >11⁄4“l Easy recognition of the di�erent types by the

Top Comb

Top Comb GRAF Ri-Q-Top®

For today’s generation of high performance comb-

ers the demands have increased on the two key

elements in the combing process, i.e. the circu-

lar- and the top combs. It is only as a result of the

particular configuration, precision and subsequent

finish of these main parts that the known increase

in production rates at equal or improved techno-

logical values could be realised.

For this reason GRAF, in close co-operation with

RIETER, has developed a new top comb with the

aim to substantially increase the cleaning intervals.

This top comb ideally complements the well known

PRIMACOMB circular comb and stands for best

yarn values in the combed range.

SPECIAL FEATURES

l available with 26 and 30 teeth /cml metallic teeth instead of needlesl special surface lapping of the teethl optimised tooth shape and adjusted angle lead to improved retaining of neps, short fibres, trash- and dust particles during the piecing processl wedge-shaped tooth points reduce the possibil-

ity of fibres winding around the clothing teeth resulting in a self-cleaning e�ect

l no soldered connection but connection actuated by clamping between row of teeth and top comb blade (aluminium profile) l reinforced ends of tooth row

ADVANTAGES

l self-cleaning top combl cleaning intervals extended by up to 4 timesl constant values in the combing sliverl nep values improved by up to 30% in the medium staple and by up to 20% in the long staplel invariable %-values in comber noils l more e�cient performance of top comb (elimination of short fibres, neps, trash, seed coat fragments and dustl improved life time due to lateral reinforcement of the teeth on the rim
