Cleaning boards for needle punching machinery

Holes on stitching plates of needle looms must be kept clean and free of fibre residues at all times. Clogging of the holes should be avoided at all costs, as this inevitably leads to increased needle breakage and machine downtime.

Cleaning boards from ADVANCED COMPONENTS offer the possibility of keeping the holes of the die plates continuously free of deposits and fibre residues.

Advantages

– Reduction of unwanted machine downtimes

– Increased life span of stitching plates

– Reduction of needle breakage on needle boards

– Cost savings

– Improvement of product quality

Execution / Application

A cleaning board consists of an aluminium base which is fitted with steel pins or HSS twist drills.

The pin or drill diameter is usually 0.5 – 1.0 mm smaller than the drill diameter in the perforated plates.

An aluminium bar is used to manually guide the cleaning segment along the entire working width of the machine (these are segmented for larger needle loom widths), which is positioned along the machine with the aid of locating holes or auxiliary stops, depending on the machine manufacturer.

We recommend a cleaning board especially for pre-needle machines and when processing regenerated fibres or short staple fibres.

Cleaning boards from ADVANCED COMPONENTS can be used with all common needle machine manufacturers and types.
