Proper maintenance of
tops is equally critical for optimum performance of cards. Carding
action causes wear of the wire tip, which needs periodic grinding. Often
the tops get loaded with impurities like fibre fragments, seed coats,
micro dust, spin finish, dye or tint particles. This impairs the working
of the card. Cleaning manually with a brush or with compressed air is
time consuming and may cause damage to the wires.
ICC has developed Sharprite Tops to perform both these functions.
Grinding and cleaning can be done on the card, saving valuable
man-hours.
The special emery fillet roller resharpens the wire tip accurately,
helping to retain the original shape of the wire. The abrasive nylon
brush can be used to polish the wire sides and clean the tops of all
embeddings.
