LOUET FULL SIZE DRUM CARDERS 

Louët has five different drumcarders: the Classic, Standard, Junior (or Roving), Elite and Electric drumcarder. They are made of laminated birch and have a hard white coating. The drums of the carders are 19 cm (7 1/2”) wide, except for the drum of the Junior (10 cm (4”) wide). In order to ensure a long life, the teeth on all Louët carders are made of high grade plated steel wire. All gearboxes, except for the Elite drumcarder, are enclosed to prevent fibers entering the gear system.

LOUET DRUM CARDER FEATURES  

LOUET FULL SIZE STANDARD DRUM CARDER with EXTRA FINE CLOTH (72 points per sq. inch)

The gear ratio that drives the licker-in when you rotate the large drum is 3.8:1.

However, what really counts for carding is the ratio of the surface speed of both drums. You get this by multiplying the gear ratio with the ratio of the diameters of the large drum and the licker-in. This surface speed ratio is 9:1 for the Standard drumcarder.

It comes equipped with a doffer brush, doffer pin and two table clamps to clamp it onto a sturdy table. An instruction manual written by well known author and fiber artist Deb Menz is included

LOUET NEW Elite Drumcarder with adjustable drums

The Elite drumcarder has been developed with the new blending techniques in mind. The large drum has an extra fine cloth (72 teeth per square inch) and the small drum, or licker-in, has a special cloth that avoids the build-up of costly fibers. It has two different gear ratios (1:6 and 1:9) and the large feed-tray makes it easier to blend the fibers. However, what really counts for carding is the ratio of the surface speed of both drums. You get this by multiplying the gear ratio with the ratio of the diameters of the large drum and the licker-in. The Elite drumcarder has two surface speed ratios; 23:1 and 34:1.

It comes equipped with a doffer brush, doffer pin and two table clamps to clamp it onto a sturdy table. An instruction manual written by well known author and fiber artist Deb Menz is included.

LOUET  ELECTRIC DRUMCARDER

The Louet Electric drumcarder is available with a 115 V or a 230 V motor.
