PRIMATOP and SUPRATOP InLine-X-Top PICCO DIAMANT METALLIC TOP

The PRIMATOP is a range of flexible flat clothings intended for the
processing of cotton and man-made fibres. The density is progressive,
i.e. the entry side, seen in the direction of fibre flow, is open, becoming
continuously more close towards the exit side.
SUPRATOP is a flexible flat clothing without any straight gaps, used for
the processing of man-made fibres. The setting pattern has a positive
influence on the parallelism of the fibres and the eliminiation of melted
fibre particles.
InLine-X-Top comprises a range of flexible flat clothings which are
applied in the area of processing cotton and man-made fibres.
This flat clothing with straight gaps and a diagonal setting pattern
is particularly suitable for application on cards without stationary
flat systems above the licker-in and production rates in the medium
to high range.
The PICCO DIAMANT is a semi-rigid flat clothing for the processing
of man-made fibres and bleached cotton. The special design of the
teeth leads to minimal flat waste only.
The tooth points of the PICCO DIAMANT undergo additional side-
grinding leading to increased carding performance as well as extended
life time.
The METALLIC TOP range of metallic flat clothings for the processing
of man-made- and regenerated fibres.
Compared to conventional flexible flat clothings it is designed to
withstand highest carding strains and is most suitable for high
production rates.

 Hardened Mote Knife for Licker-ins and points of trash extraction
The edges of mote knives of high performance cards are prone
to wear out relatively quickly. This has a detrimental effect to the
trash extraction; the flat clothings are thus subject to additional
strain and the quality of the card sliver suffers.
The key feature of the mote knives developed by Graf are the
laser-hardened edges allowing the straightness and sharpness
to be maintained. Compared to conventional mote knives made
from aluminium this accessory achieves a substantially longer
life time.
