RAG TEARING / TEXTILE RECYCLING

Stewarts of America Inc. offer pinned aluminum and wooden lags for all textile recycling machinery.

Some of the manufacturers of machinery we cover are:

LaRoche, Balkan, Dell’Orco and Villini, Margasa, Marlasca, Indumaq, Autefa, Schirp, Italiano Regenerazione, Temafa, Rolando, and more….

From interlocking “tounge and groove” lags, to flat lags with scallops, we have made pinned lags for the textile industry for over 130 years. We have the designs for all the OEM lags, and specialize in placing custom pin patterns in cylinders to achieve unique opening capabilities. We have worked with tough to open fibers such as carpet, kevlar and other materials. We can convert opening machinery that currently does not do the job, to super openers!

Unique Design
The unique design of interlocking aluminium alloy staves have firmly established themselfs in the world's fiber industries with its extended life and strength. Over 5 million being supplied to well over 55 countries over the past 80 years and their accuracy and long life are now legendary. Indeed some of the original staves are still running after many repinnings! For high density pinning, our staves have now demonstrated their accuracy and reliability over some 25 years.
Interlocking Staves

The interlock between our staves means that the staves in front and behind each stave contribute to the total strength of the assembly, and greatly reduce the chances of a catastrophic damage in a card smash.

Fewer Screw holes
Fewer retaining screws are needed because of the strength of the aluminum alloy together with the patented interlock. This means less gaps in the pinning, improved carding and easier maintenance. In many cases the staves and lags can be made double width, further reducing the problem. However the screw holes are still placed so that the aluminum staves can be fitted in place of wooden staves without modification.

Here are some of the main points;

  • Lightweight, high strength aluminum alloy construction
  • Interlocking fit; virtually smash proof
  • Fewer screw holes; Easier fitting and removal
  • Fire Resistant; Unaffected by humidity.
  • Carbon steel pins give extra long life in aluminum.
  • Indefinite number of repinnings possible.
  • Easy repinning with pins
  • Double width lags for even easier replacement.
  • Extra high pin-point density using "N.I.F" pinning
  • Proven over 60 years in over in over 50 countries.
  • Greatly extended life gives excellent value for money
