The Trützschler TC 30i card is a next-generation carding machine designed to maximize fiber quality, productivity, and resource efficiency in spinning preparation. It features an extended carding zone with around 35% more active flats and a 14% longer carding length, enabling superior cleaning and fiber individualization from a wide range of raw materials. A key innovation is the T-GO automatic gap optimizer, which continuously adjusts carding settings to deliver consistent, operator-independent performance, while systems like WASTECONTROL and advanced waste suction allow up to 50% of card waste to be recovered or reused, significantly improving raw material utilization. With intelligent automation, flexible configurations (including versions for cotton, man-made, fine yarns, and recycling), and proven gains in productivity and energy efficiency, the TC 30i represents a highly efficient and sustainable solution for modern spinning mills.
