Rieter . Card C 80

30% more card sliver Energy-savingEnergy-efficient drives and innovative machine components also lead to lower energy costs per kilogram of card sliver produced, even with a high production output.

The card C 80 produces 30% more card sliver than any other cards currently available on the market. As a result, the number of cards required for a spinning mill can be significantly reduced. This lowers the production costs.

Clear Production Boost

Permanently optimized card sliver

Potential for savings with selective trash extraction

Optimum licker-in configuration options

With selective trash extraction, both raw material utiliza-tion and the quality expectations of the end product can be optimized. Depending on the targeted waste percent-ages and the price of cotton, the potential for savings is significant.

The licker-in knife can be quickly adjusted electronically during production, ensuring optimum raw material utilization and more flexible adjustment to different raw materials. The C 80 offers the best configuration options for every application.

The precision of the carding gap across the entire work-ing width is key for achieving the ideal carding result. Depending on the production and the raw material being processed, it is possible to precisely set the carding gap to within one hundredth of a millimeter via the central adjust-ment. The precise guiding of the flats, tight tolerances and material combination of cast-iron plate and cast-iron drum all ensure that the carding gap remains precisely at the specified settings, even during operation.

Excellent Raw Material Utilization

Central adjustment can be set precisely to within one hundredth of a millimeter

Flexible raw material utilizationThe integrated Q-Package includes low-wear mote knives in the pre- and post-carding zone with differing extraction widths. Inserts can be changed quickly without the need for tools. Four different options are available for the variousdegrees of contamination. The Q-Package enables the raw material to be utilized with maximum flexibility and profitability.

Inserts can be changed more quickly and easily for variable trash extraction

Consistently high sliver quality

Key features of the carding area Minimal loss of good fibers with high yarn qualityThe number of flats across the active carding area is key to the

quality of the card sliver. With 40 active flats and a 1.5-m working width, the C 80 has the largest active carding area, enabling the machine to produce extraordinarily high sliver quality.

A precise, flexible bend for flats guides the fibers effectively to the flats area and ensures gentle carding without shortening the fibers. The cylinder circumference is optimized to its maximum technological potential. IGS-classic, the integrated clothing grinding system for permanently sharp cylinder clothing, and IGS-top, for equally useful card flat clothing, increase the service life of clothing by 20%. As a result, the quality of the card sliver is consistently at a high level.

The C 80 has a 25% larger active carding area com-pared to the previous model, as well as optimized pre- and post-carding areas that can be individually equipped. The loss of good fibers is reduced while delivering the same level of quality. When the pro-duction output of the C 80 is compared with other cards available of the market, the yarn quality of the C 80 is 10% higher.
