MODEL 2000 High Production Card
Features
• Simple design - giving continuous trouble
free operation requiring the minimum of
servicing using basic maintenance skills.
• High machine rigidity - by cross braced
folded steel chassis and fabricated cylinder
and doffer with internal flanging, enabling
settings to be held for an extended period
ensuring consistent product quality.
• Versatile specification - enabling machine
performance to be optimised for processing to
customer requirements by using elements
selected from the extensive range of
Hollingsworth carding features.
• Direct dofter drive - a simple, trouble free,
positive doffer drive from card cylinder with
intermediate change pulley facilities for
varying doffer speeds.
• Cylinder brake - highly efficient, electropneumatic disc brake capable of stopping the
machine within 3 seconds. In conjunction with
direct doffer drive, the brake provides
complete control during start and stop

sequences by maintaining sliver formation.
Also improves level of safety.
Improved flat design - with high section
modules to eliminate transverse distortion
giving improved carding performance.
Integral drafting system - 2 over 3 drawbox
drafting arrangement reducing the number of
trailing hooks offering potential to reduce
number of drawframe passes in carded yarns,
and in combed yarns, a significant reduction of
comber waste.
Improved card cleaning - total suction card
cleaning system feeding to central filtration
plant. Increased number of card cleaning
points leading to cleaner sliver and reduced
dust and fly liberation.
Optional card auto leveller - high
performance system providing stepless
correction response proportional to sliver
throughput speed. Corrects for long, medium
and short term irregularities down to less than
half a metre.
The Hollingsworth Model 2000 Card having a
rigid subframe, is delivered fully assembled
significantly reducing installation time.
Enclosures are interlocked with the machine
drive for safety and are capable of being
removed easily for servicing.
Element stability, and close tolerances
combined with Hollingsworth high quality
clothing ensure the best possible carding
performance.
disc brake is interlocked with the machine .
enclosures to give a high level of safety. With
brake pads which can be replaced easily, the air
reservoir in the feed line provides for braking in
the event of an air supply failure. The brake disc
is firmly secured to the cylinder weldment and
has a large surface area for rapid heat
dissipation.
The card operator control panel, located on the
right of the delivery end carries the
shift/production data control unit, main control
buttons and where applicable, controls for the
Masterleveler autolevelling system. A graphic
display with mode and fault indication is also
carried on the control panel. Fault detection
includes; feed malfunction, metal detection,
sliver breakage, material over doffer and, in
conjunction with the data control unit, operation
of the measured length function.
Rigidly mounted on the card frame, the highly
efficient, rapid response pneumatic cylinder

CARD CLEANING SYSTEM
The total suction system for the Model 2000 Card
incorporates extraction from the following points
within the card:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Takerin / Rear blockshaft
Undercard
Coiler head
Doffer - web area
Flatstrip / Trashmaster
Drafting zone
Autoleveller
Cylinder / Doffer pressure relief
Note: Flatstrip may be collected
separately.
Contaminated air from each zone
is fed by ducts which merge at the
discharge point to a common line
feeding to the central filtration
plant. Direction of discharge may
be upward or downward to suit
either overhead or under floor
main conveying ductwork.
Under the card, a full width
conveyor transports fallen waste to
a rear extraction mouthpiece,
effectively ensuring a 'dead air'
zone with no adverse effect on
carding performance.
Rigid, smooth pipework and bends
are used from each point to
provide minimum air flow
resistance and all ductwork and
suction hoods are specially formed to avoid
snagging points, from coated anti-corrosion steel
sheet. A damper is incorporated in the discharge
duct to facilitate balancing of the system.
Located on the left hand side of the card, all
cleaning ductwork is designed to be dismantled
easily to provide unimpeded service access to all
relevant maintenance areas.
The total suction air cleaning system operates on a
continuous extraction basis to achieve perfect card
cleanliness and ensure environmental dust levels
are controlled within all legislative standards.
One important aspect of any card specification is the
card clothing; from detailed research, Hollingsworth
have developed a wide range of wires for each
carding element. From this extensive portfolio, the
most suitable clothing can be selected to ensure
optimum carding performance.
Combined with the experience and resources of the
Hollingsworth group, individual carding features can
be selected to provide the most suitable parameters
for the fibre to be processed.
The range of Hollingsworth features include:
added advantage of reduced waste and dust
emission.
Dofmaster - single roll doffing arrangement capable
of stripping fibre at high speed.
Crush master - optional 3 roll doffer stripping system
for customers who insist on crushing facilities.
Pre-Carding surface - KDS1000 providing additional
carding power while offering protection to the
cylinder/flat clothing.
Takerin Type 'B' undercasing with extension,
supplied as standard with option for LCP1000
complete with carding plate and mote knife.
Trashmaster - post carding attachment capable of
extracting micro-dust, short fibre and fused synthetic
fibre - fitted with integral carding surface.
Carding by individual flats or Cardmaster, the latter
require the minimum of maintenance and have the
KDStOOO post carding surface - recommended in
lieu of Trashmaster when processing synthetic fibres.
Fabricated sheet steel cylinder
and doffer with internal flanges to
prevent distortion of the outer shell
when rotating, and to provide a
true base for the card wire.
Precision ground and clothed prior
to delivery, the main card
elements require no further
attention on initial installation.
l.-
Rigid fabricated main card chassis
and cylinder bends provide a
distortion free base on which all
carding elements are mounted.
This type of construction enables
the card to be delivered fully
assembled significantly reducing
installation time.
