METALLIC CARD CLOTHING

As Carding machine design improved in 1950's and 60's, it became apparent that card clothing was a limiting factor






Much time and effort was spent in the development of metallic card clothing.
There are two rules of carding

The fibre must enter the carding machine, be efficiently carded and taken from it in as little time as possible
The fibre must be under control from entry to exit
Control of fibres in a carding machine is the responsibilitgy of the card clothing
