<p>An assembly (1) comprises metallic card-clothing wire (2) which has been wound on a support drum (4) and then coated with a hard coating in order to increase its durability and, therefore, extend its useful lifetime. The assembly (1) may be delivered to an end user, for example a mill who can then re-clothe take-in rollers using the coated wire in a relatively quick and efficient manner without the need for any specialised equipment. Thus, loss of production whilst take-in rollers are being re-clothed followed by hard coating may be minimised with consequential potential monetary savings.</p> |
