14 General information on Flat Clothings GRAF strives to continuously improve the product range and today is in a position to manufacture the card wire and the foundation material for the flat clothings in addition to the profile material for the metallic card clothings. Subsequently the entire production is in the hands of GRAF, i.e. all production stages such as the manufacturing of foundation material and wire as well as flat setting and confectioning is subject to the same stringent quality control assuring our customers of impeccable quality of the finished product. A new surface treatment guarantees additional resistance to wear and therefore extended life time of the GRAF flat clothings. resist-o-top resist-o-top is a flexible flat clothing applied for the processing of cotton and blends of cotton and man-made fibres. It is a further development of the well-known PRIMATOP range of flats progressively set without straight gaps between the rows of teeth. This setting pattern favours the extraction of short fibres and trash as well as the elimination of neps. The newly developed setting pattern influences the so-called free passage resulting in a improved distribution of the carding forces and a positive effect on the positioning of the teeth. The resist-o-top is set more densely in the exit zone in comparison to the PRIMATO- Prange. The wire number for all types is chosen with a difference of 5 numbers. RSTO C-41/0 RSTO M-48/0 RSTO F-55/0 410 p.p.s.i. Applied for cotton up to Ne 20 (coarse short staple cotton) 480 p.p.s.i. Used for cotton or blends of man-made fibres and cotton (Ne 20 40) 550 p.p.s.i. Used for cotton (Ne 30 and finer ) PRIMATOP 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 the material flow, is open and becomes continuously narrower towards the exit side. PT 43/0 and SPACETOP are set with card wire with a difference of 4 numbers. PT 40/0-5 PT 43/0 SPACETOP 400 p.p.s.i. Applied for regenerated fibres and cotton up to Ne 20 (coarse, short staple cotton) 430 p.p.s.i. Applied for yarns from Ne (cotton and fine man-made fibres) 520 p.p.s.i. Used for yarns Ne 30 and finer (fine, long staple cotton) SUPRATOP SUPRATOP is a flexible flat clothing without any straight gaps used for the processing of man-made fibres. The setting pattern positively influences the parallelism of the fibres and the elimination of melted fibre particles. ST 35/0 350 p.p.s.i.

Applied for cotton (Ne 30 and finer) DIAMANT/PICCO-DIAMANT DIAMANT and PICCO-DIAMANT are semi-rigid flat clothings for the processing of man-made fibres as well as bleached cotton and rayon. The special tooth position results in only minimal waste. The tooth points of the PICCO-DIAMANT range undergo additional side-grinding leading to increased carding performance as well as extended life time. DI/PD 24/0 DI/PD 33/0 240 p.p.s.i.

18 C-Cleaner II C-Cleaner II, Systems of Stationary Flats and Pre-Opening Segments One of the deciding factors for increased production rates with equal quality or else improvements in quality with equal production rates on today s generations of high production cards is the application 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 clothing strips. SPECIAL FEATURES PRE-OPENING SEGMENT Sturdy clothing carrier made from aluminium profile, resistant to deformation. Utmost straightness of the carding elements allows accurate setting. Wide range of clothings resistant to wear with p.p.s.i. Clothing strips easy to replace. ADVANTAGES Pre-opening segments below the lickerin favour the opening of the fibre tufts, leading to improved trash elimination. 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 their life time. Above the doffer, the C-Cleaner II, with or without trash elimination, improves the fibre parallelism and eliminates further neps, leading to a positive effect on the yarn values.

20 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 /10.en Rights for technical modifications reserved

22 Conversion of existing Systems Conversion from clipped to screw-type fastening for stationary aluminium flat bars Stationary flat clipped to alu bar Converted stationary flat Different and varying carding systems and stationary flats can be found particularly on older types of cards. In most cases customers are not in a position to replace the worn clothings independently but will have to send them to a service workshop for replacement. For this reason GRAF has designed a number of different conversion sets, allowing customers the efficient, straight-forward and economical replacement of the clothings in-mill. ADVANTAGES Most precise clothing strips which allow accurate setting Simple replacement of the clothing strips Most economic CONVERSION OF EXISTING CARDING PLATES TO 3 STATIONARY FLATS Original version Conversion 01015/11.en Rights for technical modifications reserved

30 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 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 The alternately slanted arrangement of the individual sections leads to more intensive combing 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 Minimum manufacturing tolerances guarantee fast and safe exchange of the combs The application of metallic clothings allows life times of tons/comber to be reached without problems in the short and medium staple range.

32 Top Comb Top Comb GRAF Ri-Q-Top For today s generation of high performance combers the demands have increased on the two key elements in the combing process, i.e. the circular- 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 technological 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. SPECIAL FEATURES available with 26 and 30 teeth /cm metallic teeth instead of needles special surface lapping of the teeth optimised tooth shape and adjusted angle lead to improved retaining of neps, short fibres, trash- and dust particles during the piecing process wedge-shaped tooth points reduce the possibility of fibres winding around the clothing teeth resulting in a self-cleaning effect no soldered connection but connection actuated by clamping between row of teeth and top comb blade (aluminium profile) reinforced ends of tooth row ADVANTAGES self-cleaning top comb cleaning intervals extended by up to 4 times constant values in the combing sliver nep values improved by up to 30% in the medium staple and by up to 20% in the long staple invariable %-values in comber noils more efficient performance of top comb (elimination of short fibres, neps, trash, seed coat fragments and dust improved life time due to lateral reinforcement of the teeth on the rim 01071/17.en Rights for technical modifications reserved
