Electric Carder

Fibre preparation is made easy with an e-carder. Due to many customer requests, Ashford have developed an e-Carder based on our popular 30cm (12ins) wide drum carder. This carder has two exceptionally powerful motors to enable fleece and sliver to be carded easily and quickly.

Features include:

• 30cm (12ins) carding width
• Batt weight up to 135gm (4¾ozs)
• 72-point teeth on the main drum and 36-point cloth on the feed-in drum helps keep the feed-in drum clean
• Two 24v motors with geared drive
• Infinitely variable speed control for both drums plus a ratio control to vary the in-feed speed
• Acrylic safety covers over the drums and the drive belts, and a magnetic safety switch, for safe use
• Stepped tooth non-slip drive belts with belt tensioners
• On/off foot switch allows hands-free fibre preparation and feeding-in
• When in reverse, for fibre removal, the drums rotate at 10% carding speed
• Packer brush, doffer, cleaning brush, on/off foot switch and 24-volt mains transformer
• Carding drums can be removed to clean bearings
• Large 21 x 31cm (8¼ x 12⅜ins) feed-in tray
