Abstract
A carding machine includes a main carding cylinder including a cylindrical jacket having an outer surface; a cylinder clothing carried on the outer jacket surface; and radial supporting elements supporting the cylindrical jacket. The carding machine further has a machine element defining a radial clearance with the cylinder clothing; two stationary lateral shield plates flanking the main carding cylinder; and an arrangement for reducing heat removal from the lateral shield plates to adapt a heat-caused expansion of the lateral shield plates to a heat-caused expansion of the main carding cylinder.
