Blank hardened

Treated clothing with scalefree surface.

Needle Finish NF

Electrochemical polishing and rounding of all edges on the

clothing teeth.

Surface treatment

Depending on the fi ber material, a choice of surface fi nishes is available. According to the clothing type and area of application,

a special surface treatment might be suitable. We distinguish between:

Steel alloys

Depending on the application and demands, Graf can

supply various alloys. Diff erent steel alloys can be used

depending on the clothing type and area of application.

• CS (CUTTYSHARP) for the highest demands and lifetimes

up to 1100 t for cylinder clothings. Recommended for card

production rates of 50 kg/h and more. A TSG (Traversing

Resharpening Device) is essential for activating and

resharpening these clothings.

• Steel alloy with special additives. Substantially increased

lifetimes compared to conventional clothing. Lifetimes of up

to 800 t can be easily achieved. Used for card production

rates up to 50 kg/h. This alloy can also be activated with

conventional grinding equipment.

Polidur treatment

Improved surface fi nish achieved with electrochemical polishing.

The clothing is completely de-burred at the same time.

Smooth Finish SF

Mechanical treatment for smoothing and refi ning the clothing

surfaces. The running-in time is reduced to a minimum, therefore

a consistently high quality is ensured right from the start.

Excerpt from the comprehensive rang of Graf metallic card clothings

Camel metallic card clothings

The visionary Camel metallic card clothing sets

standards regarding effi ciency and quality.

Camel – The innovative clothings for signifi cantly better results

for carded and combed yarns

The innovative geometry of the Camel metallic card clothing

allows for effi cient use of raw material while enhancing the

quality.

The camel shape – both as cylinder or licker-in clothing – has

the positive attribute that the special tooth shape keeps the fi bers

in a defi ned position during processing. This leads to improved

results in the elimination of neps, gentle fi ber processing and

carding and as a result fewer short fi bers and a high degree of

elimination of dead and immature fi bers. These special clothings

are available in a large variety of executions and are suitable

for application on all card types. This innovative metallic card

clothing is available with standard profi les for cylinders and in

interlinked execution for licker-ins.

Customer benefi ts:

• Gentle processing of the fi bers

• Optimal guiding of the fi bers on the surface of the cylinder clothing

• Better nep removal and less fi ber damage

• Improved removal of dead fi bers

• Consistent quality throughout the entire lifetime of the clothing

• Positive impact on waste from the comber

• Improved fi ber transfer to the doff er

• Can be resharpened by the same means as standard cylinder clothings

resist-O-top is a line of fl exible fl at clothings used for the processing of

the whole range of short staple fi bers (cotton, man-made fi bers, blends

and regenerated fi bers). It is progressively set without any straight gaps.

The progressive setting pattern favors the removal of short fi bers and

waste as well as the elimination of neps.

This setting pattern infl uences the so-called free passage, resulting

in an improved distribution of the carding forces and a positive eff ect

on the position of the teeth.

The PRIMATOP range includes fl exible fl at clothings intended for

the processing of cotton and man-made fi bers. The density is

progressive, i.e. the entry side, seen in the direction of the fi ber

fl ow, is open, becoming continuously closer towards the exit side.

SUPRATOP is a fl exible fl at clothing without any straight gaps used

for man-made fi bers. The setting pattern has a positive infl uence on

the parallelism of the fi bers and the removal of melted fi ber particles.

InLine-X-Top comprises a range of fl exible fl at clothings which are

applied in the area of processing cotton and man-made fi bers.

This fl at clothing with straight gaps and a diagonal setting pattern

is particularly suitable for cards without stationary fl at systems

above the licker-in and production rates in the medium to high

Stationary flat clothings for flat cards and blow room equipment

EasyTop version

Fast, cost-effi cient reclothing through magnetic attachment to assure a

consistently high quality in the carding process, the regular replacement

of the fl at clothings is a prerequisite. This however leads to downtimes

of the cards in question. The EasyTop allows the exchange of the fl exible

clothings to be eff ected quickly and easily.

26

27

EasyTop is suitable for aluminum fl at bars with magnetic adhesion

technology from all manufacturers. The use of the well-known and

proven Graf fl at clothings is thus assured on all fl at bars, irrespective

of the mode of attachment. With the introduction of the EasyTop

generation of fl at clothings, Graf is able to provide card clothings in

the established and reliable quality for all known types of fl at cards

from one source.

Quick reclothing – reduced investment costs

As a result of the innovative mode of attachment by high energy

magnets, the cost- and labor-intensive processes such as stripping

and clipping are noticeably reduced. The fl at bars can be easily

reclothed without the requirement for machines or special tools

by the mill’s own staff within the shortest possible time. With the

straightforward exchange of the fl at strips, the typical fl at workshop

is not a necessity, resulting in considerably reduced operating and

service costs. The need for the mechanical stripping and clipping

of the fl at clothings can be dispensed with.

Reliable magnet technology provides precision and quality

As soon as the EasyTop is placed on the fl at bar, the magnetic

eff ect will automatically assure the correct position. Due to the

two adhesive and compensation layers, (see fi gure 2 and 3),

the EasyTop technique permits the narrowest of tolerances

within the entire system. Once the fl at clothing is placed on

the fl at bar the magnetic connection will withstand even the

strongest carding forces.

The EasyTop fastening technology is thus totally reliable in

operation. Unlike other, conventional modes of attachment

with clips, the EasyTop system is a nondestructive connection

that can be detached with minimal eff ort. Thus this fastening

technology favors carrying out trials effi ciently with diff erent

types of fl at clothings without loss of the existing clothings.

The edges of mote knives of high performance cards are prone

to wear out relatively quickly. This has a detrimental eff ect on the

waste extraction; the fl at clothings are thus subject to additional

strain and the quality of the card sliver suff ers.

The edges of the mote knives specifi cally developed by Graf

are laser-hardened in order to maintain straightness as well as

sharpness. Compared to conventional mote knives made from

aluminum, this accessory achieves a substantially longer lifetime.

C-Cleaner II, conversions for increased production rates

Graf provides the option to equip cards of older generations

with additional carding elements; this allows the production

rate to be increased at equal quality or else to improve the

quality maintaining the production rate.

Graf conversion of existing stationary fl at systems

For a quick, simple and cost-effi cient exchange of clothings.

Possible conversions:

• For aluminum fl at bars:

Conversion from clip- to screw attachment

• Conversion of existing carding plates to 3 stationary fl ats

• Replacement for existing pre-opening segment bars

Service pays off

Clothing service extends lifetimes many times over

The fl exible fl at clothings produced with the highest precision

have a much bigger impact on the carding quality than the cylinder

clothing. The number of neps in the card sliver is mainly infl uenced

by the state of the card clothings. Regular servicing of the clothings

not only maintains a more consistent numbers of neps, but also

pays off economically.
