T-WEB CARDING TECHNOLOGIES

During carding, rollers with card clothings (wires) by Trützschler Card Clothing are used to finally open all fiber tufts into individual fibers, align them parallel to each other, and blend them again. In conventional cards, pairs of so-called worker/stripper rollers perform this task.

Web forming refers to forming a homogeneous fiber mat over the entire working width, which serves as the basis for the following process step of web bonding.

Typical end products include dry and wet wipes for baby care or personal hygiene as well as cotton pads, and medical textiles such as plaster.

Cotton cards are specially designed for processing fibers of varying lengths with a proportion of short fibers. They are characterized by components for gentle fiber opening, i.e. separating and parallelizing the fibers, and efficient web forming.

Trützschler has more than 100 years of experience in the areas of cleaning and carding as the first steps in yarn production.

Trützschler Nonwovens has been offering cotton cards for several decades. Since the merger of Erko and Fleissner under the umbrella of the Trützschler Group, the company delivered more than a dozen production lines for processing cotton into high-quality spunlaced nonwovens.

Trützschler's Clean Card Concept ensures particularly clean and efficient fiber processing. It includes sealings and precisely manufactured casings and housings that minimize fiber fly and prevent fibers from entering into machine components. A powerful suction system directs fiber dust directly to the filter unit, thus protecting the drive area from fiber contamination.

These measures are crucial because cotton fiber carding causes fiber breaks producing both short fibers and dust. These residues can contaminate machines, impair product quality, and increase maintenance costs. The Clean Card Concept reduces these risks and ensures stable, efficient production.
