The new card TC 12

The TC 12 was created as part of Truetzschler’s constant focus on exploring the potential for state-of-the-art technologies to solve key challenges for the textile industry. Carding machines, for example, require a lot of care in order to keep delivering outstanding quality at high rates of productivity. Settings need to be maintained and regular maintenance is necessary. These tasks are time-consuming and need a highly skilled operator. That’s why our R&D teams focus on creating breakthrough solutions like the TC 12 to minimize interference and maximize the availability of carding machines.


Improved Precision Flat Setting (PFS) system

A new PFS system empowers spinners with a setting range of 40/1000 inch instead of 8/1000 inch. This is more than enough to perform all required operations without altering the basic settings of the card. The basic setting system, with eight flexible bends, also allows closer gauges, which leads to superior and more consistent carding performance.


Redesigned licker-in zone

New cleaning elements around the licker-in offer a combing bar and a precision mote knife system that enable controlled extraction of trash with minimum lint loss. This also ensures the re-orientation of fibers on the licker-in surface, which enables better opening when processing man-made and sticky cottons.


WASTECONTROL System

This proven system in the blow room is now also part of the TC 12 card, optimizing carding waste in the licker-in zone. Customers can use a touchscreen to choose between economy, intensity, and balance mode. The system can increase raw material yield and minimize waste by up to 2 percent. 


New web doffing and sliver forming

The improved web doffing offers several benefits. The card is equipped with transverse sliver take-off, with a pair of maintenance-free belts. This enables better control when collecting web at high speed. A semi-automatic piecing unit is also a standard feature in this card. It is activated through the touch of a button and offers quick threading aid for the operator.


T-LED

A next-generation display on the TC 12 card uses the latest LED technology, which makes it visible to the operator even from far away. It displays a visualization of operating parameters to enable operators to avoid malfunctions and reduce downtime. 


New can changer CCL

A new and more compact can changer system offers can changing speeds of up to 300 meters per minute. It is delivered as a pre-assembled unit, which enables fast installation, and is available with 1,000-millimeter diameter and a height of up to 1,500 millimeters. The new can filling system also saves space and is more efficient than a typical rotary can changer.


T-MOVE 2 with Jumbo Can

The T-MOVE 2 system further enhances the can filling capacity of our existing Jumbo Can with 1,200 millimeter can diameter. After each can rotation, the coiler head shifts its position by a few centimeters – so that the first layer of card sliver is fed into the can, and then the second layer is fed in 4 centimeters from the can’s rim. As a result, the sliver is deposited in a way that creates less mounting of material at the core hole, which reduces pressure on the sliver and improves coiling quality. It also increases can capacity by up to 8 percent compared to the previous version of T-MOVE.
