Fibre Pin Locked Rollers

We are a renowned manufacturer, importer, supplier and exporter of Fibre Friendly Pinlocked Taker In Rollers to our widely spread clients. These are suitable for high production cards where quality and output needs to be maximised, and downtime minimised. Pins have smooth pointed sharp profile that do less damage to fine fibres. Fibre Friendly Pinlocked Taker In Rollers are resistant to wear and damage, and have a life expectancy of over 5,000 tons in conventional carding machines. There is no need to change them when running different fibres or blends.

Stewarts Developed the pinned Taker In in 1972, and extensive use since then has shown it to be fibre- friendly and extremely durable, making it an ideal match for high production cards where quality and output must be maximized, and downtime must be minimized.

Pins are fibre-friendly

Cotton has been traditionally carded using card wire. However, pins, with their smooth pointed sharp profile, do less damage to fine fibres. The sharp, but smooth, point of the pin gives excellent fibre penetration. The grain of the metal and the machining marks of the pin all run along the axis of the pin, so fibres can float freely around the point, and there are no traps to catch fibres or start wear.

Long Life

the Pinned Taker In is extremely resistant to wear and damage and a life of over ten years is common on conventional cards. Many thousands have now been installed world-wide, and although the oldest are 20 years old, few have yet worn out. Life on high production cards is just as extraordinary, and tests have shown that a life time of at least 5 years can be expected with n maintenance at all.

Universal

A major advantage of the STEWARTS Pinned Taker-in is the one specification of pinning can be used to successfully card almost all fibres, so there is no need to change when running different fibres or blends.

Reduced maintenance: Less Downtime

Regular card down-time is saved because it is not necessary to rewire a Pinned Taker in. This is particularly important for the Taker-In which is usually rewired three times as often as the cylinder.

The pins wear better because of their hardness and the better shape of their points, and they doe not need to be sharpened or ground.

Resistance to Damage

Each pin is separately fixed, so any accidental damage is usually local, and there is no risk of further damage through the card due not wire stripping.

Light Weight

the extraordinarily light weight of a pinned Taker-In (approx 40 Kg.), simplifies fitting without lifting apparatus, and reduces any risk of personal injury.
