STEELTOP®: A new benchmark in flat tops for spinning preparation

Modern carding generations achieve higher production performance, placing significantly greater stress on flat tops.

With STEELTOP®, Trützschler introduces a new full steel flat top series developed for these demanding modern carding processes.
