Today, the product range of Trützschler Card Clothing reaches from basic to high-end for premium products. This not only covers standard applications, but also solutions for rare and very special requirements.

The production efficiency of cards has grown continuously – particularly during the last ten years. The other side of the coin is disproportionate wear of the lickerin and cylinder wires as well as of the carding segments.
In parallel to the product development of the cards, TCC has devel­oped the corresponding wires for high production cards. These wires are called NovoStar plus. They guarantee excellent quality with longer service life even in case of very high carding performances.
The photograph shows a TCC NovoStar lickerin wire after a throughput of 500 tons of cotton. There is hardly any wear visible.

Metallic wires NovoStar plus are the premium product among metallic wires. They come with the same tooth geometry as the TCC cylinder wires, but are made of a special raw material. This ma­terial is an alloyed special steel which meets the highest possible requirements regarding wear and manufacturing precision. Another quality feature is that the portions of the individual alloy components lie within very close tolerance limits.
