In spunlacing lines, higher speeds often become a challenge for proper carding and web forming. High rotational speeds generate forceful air streams sofibers fly off the card wire easily.

TCC’s new Z-wire implements a special contour to minimize fiber fly inside the card. Several notches provide a firm grip on single fibers and deliver them nicely to the next roll. The Z-wire matches perfectly with Trützschler Nonwovens’ NCT card in inline configurations reaching speeds of 300 m/minute at the winder and more.
