In carders, as a rule, the acceleration between the rollers is stated. For the this carder it is 4:1. However, more important for the effectiveness of the carder is the difference in surface speed between the large and the small roller. To calculate this, multiply the acceleration by the ratio of the diameters of the two rollers. For the Electric drum carder, this speed ratio is 9:1.
