Elite Series

These feature-laden carders use our proprietary mill style carding cloth and come with all the tools needed to quickly and efficiently process any fiber. The Convertible and Crankless are the only drum carders in the world that can switch back and forth between hand crank and electric drive.

In 2008, we recognized the need for a modernized drum carder. We started by addressing the few shortcomings of the Standard Series: a taller frame and roller crank handle would be more ergonomic and a way to keep fiber from getting wrapped around the shafts would make cleaning easier and less frequent. In addition, a safe electric version would eliminate the need for the countless well-intentioned yet cringe-inducing home created motor conversions we had seen. We also received many requests for a larger batt size, but saw many drawbacks to simply going wider as our competitors did. Most importantly, our new carder needed to function as well as – if not better than – our Standard.
