Same set up on doublewide) The flagship model is the "Finest" (also known as the Model 405 x 2). This top of the line model is unique and comes complete with all available features including the Brush Attachment. Having a chain as the drive mechanism provides a constant positive non-slipping action while carding and is far superior to belt drives.From Strauch:. They are "high tech" drum carders having both infinitely variable speed AND reversibility features. The "truly variable speed" feature (not just two or three speed settings) is a God-send when working with fine fibers like alpaca, merino and cashmere. My carders will use very high quality, durable, electronically controlled motors that are made in the USA!. All these machines have been extensively beta tested by some "heavy duty" fiber artists and they all have raved about the design, workmanship and durability. Yes, a 230 volt version is also available to serve the international markets. FEATURES & BENEFITS: Timesaving; both hands are free to allow the fiber artist to control how the fiber is being carded or blended. Those with wrist, elbow and/or shoulder issues will find carding with a Strauch motorized machine painless and relaxing. The ability to card fibers at a consistent and reproducible speed will make consistent batts. Folks wanting to process lots of fiber (i.e.. a cottage industry to make money!) will find these carders remarkable. The motor and electronic controller were engineered to be quiet, robust, dependable, self-diagnostic and trouble free. PRICING: The motorized Finest is $1724 and the Finest doublewide $2024. The conversion kit for existing Strauch chain drive carders is $1150 for the regular size machines and $1200 for the doublewides.Email us at Barb@hilltopgardensandmore with questions or with what you are attempting to do.  These are exciting carders.
