We distinguish: cotton with high trash content
or delicate man-made fibres.
Usually applied for doffer

Polidur Improved surface finish achieved

by electrochemical polishing.
This process also results in the
complete deburring of the
clothing. Used in the roller card
range for the processing of
delicate man-made fibres.

Needle-Finish Electrochemical polishing and

C-Cleaner II, Systems of

Stationary Flats and Pre-Opening
Segments

One of the deciding factors for increased produc-

tion rates with equal quality or else improvements
in quality with equal production rates on today’s
generations of high production cards is the appli-
cation of additional carding elements. Older types
of cards can be easily retrofitted with such carding
elements with a minimum of effort.
GRAF has been manufacturing the C-Cleaner II
for years already and at the same keeps improving
its design. The stationary flat clothings,made from
our CUTTY-SHARP alloy guarantee long lifetime
and the straight forward replacement of the cloth-
ing strips.

SPECIAL FEATURES PRE-OPENING SEGMENT

l Sturdy clothing carrier made from aluminium profile,
resistant to deformation.
l Utmost straightness of the carding elements allows
accurate setting.
l Wide range of clothings resistant to wear with 60–860 p.p.s.i.
l Clothing strips easy to replace.

ADVANTAGES
l Pre-opening segments below the lickerin favour the opening of
the fibre tufts, leading to improved trash elimination.
l The C-Cleaner II above the lickerin, with and without trash
elimination, results in the additional opening of the fibre
material and protects the flat clothings which in turn extends
Pre-opening segment below lickerin with screen

l Above the doffer, the C-Cleaner II, with or without trash

further neps, leading to a positive effect on the yarn values.

Hardened mote knife

Hardened mote knife for lickerins

and points of trash extraction

It is well known, that the edges of the mote knifes of Rieter,

Trützschler and Crosrol high production cards become worn and
blunt relatively quickly. This has a detrimental effect on the trash
extraction, the flat clothings are subject to additional strain and
the quality of the card sliver suffers.
This prompted us to manufacture these mote knives in hardened
execution. The knives are specially laser-hardened (in order to
maintain their straightness). Laser-hardened refers to only the
edge of the mote knife being laser-hardened.

PRIMACOMB

PRIMACOMB,
High Performance Circular Comb for
RIETER Combers

The high performance circular comb was developed

in years of research and in close co-operation with
RIETER. It permits an optimum combing process on
all RIETER combers which, based on the excellent results,
are initially equipped with PRIMACOMB.

SPECIAL FEATURES
l Ingenious distribution of points established
by numerous in-field trials and optimum
tooth geometry lead to a substantial
reduction in neps as well as thin and
thick places
l The alternately slanted arrangement of
the individual sections leads to more inten-
sive combing
l Special surface treatment eliminates the
so-called running-in phase and allows for
remarkably extended cleaning intervals resulting in
longer life time of the cleaning brushes
l Minimum manufacturing tolerances guarantee fast
and safe exchange of the combs
l The application of metallic clothings allows life
times of 800 –1000 tons/comber to be reached
without problems in the short – and medium staple
range. Life times of 600 – 800 tons can be expected
in the long staple range >11⁄4“
l Easy recognition of the different types by the

Top Comb
SPECIAL FEATURES
l available with 26 and 30 teeth /cm
l metallic teeth instead of needles
l special surface lapping of the teeth
l optimised tooth shape and adjusted angle
lead to improved retaining of neps, short
fibres, trash- and dust particles during the
piecing process
l wedge-shaped tooth points reduce the possibil-
ity of fibres winding around the clothing teeth
resulting in a self-cleaning effect
l no soldered connection but connection
actuated by clamping between row of teeth
and top comb blade (aluminium profile)
l reinforced ends of tooth row
Top Comb GRAF Ri-Q-Top®
For today’s generation of high performance comb-
ers the demands have increased on the two key
elements in the combing process, i.e. the circu-
lar- and the top combs. It is only as a result of the
particular configuration, precision and subsequent
finish of these main parts that the known increase
in production rates at equal or improved techno-
logical values could be realised.
For this reason GRAF, in close co-operation with
RIETER, has developed a new top comb with the
aim to substantially increase the cleaning intervals.
This top comb ideally complements the well known
PRIMACOMB circular comb and stands for best
yarn values in the combed range.
ADVANTAGES
l self-cleaning top comb
l cleaning intervals extended by up to 4 times
l constant values in the combing sliver
l nep values improved by up to 30% in the
medium staple and by up to 20% in the long
staple
l invariable %-values in comber noils
l more efficient performance of top comb
(elimination of short fibres, neps, trash, seed
coat fragments and dust
l improved life time due to lateral reinforcement
of the teeth on the rim
