Its strong consumer-oriented R&D enables it to reinforce its market visibility with cutting-edge solutions in card room technology.
Capitalising on the success of a range of cutting-edge products in card clothing, LCC has invented CONTRA, a highly ground-breaking range of flat tops. Designed to surpass market expectations, this latest company invention will revolutionize the textile industry in achieving quality like never before.
The carding process has a significant influence on the yarn quality. In a carding machine, all 80-110 revolving flat wire points are positioned in a manner to create a channelized flow for fibres to travel in a unidirectional flow where the fibre is individualised and channelized to produce sliver.
To produce perfectly carded fibres and even out the carding process, a change in direction of fibre flow is needed. In this arrangement, the flat tops are placed alternatively to one another to change the direction of fibre flow.
By bringing about this change, LCC could deliver never before results of maintaining an unvarying carding action that for improved yarn quality.
The CONTRA flat tops are a result of sheer determination and dedication of the company’s customer-centric R&D team. It is a patented design with an innovative construction with canal paths to divert the flow of the fibres in opposite directions. The twist and turns in opposite directions are the masterstrokes of the flat tops that ensure better carding and best yarn.
For instance, if one flat top has pins in left helix direction, the next flat top has its pins arranged to facilitate the fibres to turn in the right helix direction, thereby improving combing. Again, the third top would come into action to divert the fibre flow in the left helix direction. This diversion occurs continuously during the carding process, so that the fibres are constantly deflected from one direction to another direction during carding.
This new and innovative setting will result in adequate action on the fibres, and thus these fibres are diverted with the help of pins arranged in different direction in each flat top to result in a product that is of exceptional quality.
