MAIN CYLINDER AND TAKER IN

Cylinder Wire:

 Cylinder wires are the mainstay of card process, doing

the bulk of the work. Modern cards are clothed with very
fine wire points and a card could have as many as 12
million wire points. Good carding requires all the wire
points to be exact size, height and strength.
 Cylinder wires are the hardest workers in the carding
process. Good carding requires all the wire points to be
of exact size, height and strength. Modern card clothing
has very fine wire points; some cards could have as
many as 12 million wire points!
 The following characteristics of cylinder wire should be considered.
 1. Wire angle 2. Tooth depth
 3. Wire population 4. Rib thickness
 5. Tooth profile 6. Tooth pitch
 7. Tooth point 8. Overall wire height
TRUTZSCHLER:
Truztschler Wire Identification Code: It is used to easily identify
specification of wire such as the tooth geometry, special
versions or the surface quality immediately.

 Taker in is also called licker in.
 ◾ Licker-in plays a major role in opening the fibre tufts. In general 85
degrees is used both for synthetic and medium and long cottons.
For coarse and dirty cottons 80 degrees can be used.
 ◾ Strength, hardness and sharpness are very important for Lickerin
wire. Licker-in wires should never be ground. Thinner blades
penetrate the fibres more efficiently and increase the wire life.
 ◾ Higher number of rows per inch gives better results. Now up to 12
rows per inch is being used. This is always better compared to 8 rows
per inch.
