Louet drum carders are made of laminated birch and are covered with a very strong laminated white coating. To maximize their lifespan, the teeth of all Louet carders are made of high-quality steel wire. The case is closed to prevent the fibers from entering the gear system.
For drum carders, the gear ratio is often mentioned, however, what really matters for carding is the ratio of the surface speed of the two drums: carding is the result of carding. This ratio is achieved by multiplying the gear ratio and diameters of the large drum and the small drum.
