Specifications
| Product | Kaardmolen |
The standard carder is available in 46 tpi (teeth per square inch) 72 & 120 tpi. If you are mainly going to card coarser wool or greasy fleece, it is best to go for 46 tpi. If you mainly carding finer fibres, the carder with 120 tpi is most suitable. The 72 tpi cloth is versatile when you want a range of carding options.
The carding cloth is made of nickel-plated steel wire on a bed of cotton and natural rubber, which gives very good longevity. The frame of the carder is made of waterproof glued birch plywood with a white HPL top layer. The rollers are driven by a closed gear system. As a result, the carder requires very little maintenance and this keeps fiber from getting caught up in the gears.
The carder is delivered fully assembled so you can get started right away.
Included with the carder are:
- instruction manual,
- the card booklet written by Deb Menz,
- cleaning brush,
- doffer pin
- table clamps.
