This Strauch chain drive drum carder for home use also has a 7" diameter x 7¾" wide working drum and a 2" diameter x 8" wide licker drum producing a batt approximately 7" wide x 22" long. The overall length of the machine is 24" and 11-1/2" with a 4" high frame. This carder is meant to be used at the edge of the work surface, allowing turning of the crank.
For those with specialized needs, there are three styles of card cloth available for the carding drum. All cloth uses 3/8" long plated steel wire in a tough rubberized cloth backing:
02 Regular -72 teeth (or points) per square inch. Can be used successfully for coarse to middle range fiber such as Cheviot and Romney as well as adult mohair. Useful for long fibers such as Border Leicester to get a deep batt. NOT recommended for finer fibers. This is a favorite drum among felters who plan never to card fine fibers.
03 Fine -98 teeth /sq.in. For most fibers; again, NOT recommended for finer fibers.
05 Extra Fine-128 teeth /sq.in. For ALL fibers, especially the very fine varieties. With care, can be used with Merino, Llama, Alpaca, Cashmere blend, dog hair and other exotics. This card cloth along with the optional Brush Attachment is the most versatile combination.
The famous "Slicker-Licker" card cloth, unique to ALL Strauch carders, is used on the lickerin drum. This special card cloth has smooth, straight teeth which give a more gentle carding action to the fiber with virtually no fiber build up on the small drum.
Having a chain as the drive mechanism provides a constant positive non-slipping action while carding and is far superior to belt drives.
Special tools included with each carder are:
The popular Knuckle-Saving-Batt-Pick, an invaluable tool for removing the batt without damage to the equipment or the user.
A Doffer/Cleaner Brush to thoroughly and easily clean any residual fibers from the carding drum.
A small cleaner/dabber brush for use on the licker drum.
