This is the model that Patrick Green, the engineer/designer of amazing cottage industry mill equipment made for his wife, Paula. After the acquisition, we soon were producing these machines with some added features and options.
The Rover is the only tabletop sized Carder on the market that produces beautiful continuous roving.
With the cost being only a fraction of a large mill sized Carder and having a small footprint, this machine is perfect for a production spinner or for a sheep raiser to market wools.
As the machine is easy and quick to clean, it is also an ideal machine for mills to run smaller batches and test blends of colors.
Rover Features:
Automatic bump winder which makes a convenient center-pull ball of up to 6 ounces, or let the roving fall into the drum.
Variable speed control for optimal carding.
Only requires 110v standard plug.
Clear safety guards allow for operator to monitor fibers being processed.
Emergency stops/shutoffs for safety.
Optional In-Feed Conveyer Belt and Ionizing Bars available.
Specifications:
Will process up to 5 pounds per hour, depending on the fiber.
Minimum fiber length, 3 inches. This carder just loves longer wools.
Two dyed wools can be fed side-by-side for a delightful, two-color ribbon of wool.
