Ashford Drum Carder Drive Belt

Ashford Drum Carder Drive Belt – Restore Smooth, Consistent Carding Performance

Keep your drum carder running smoothly with a genuine Ashford Drive Belt, designed specifically for Ashford drum carders. This clear polyurethane belt provides the tension and flexibility needed to transfer motion from the handle or motor to the drums, ensuring your fiber blends evenly and efficiently.

Over time, belts can stretch, crack, or lose tension—causing slippage and uneven carding. Replacing a worn belt restores the carder’s performance, allowing for clean, consistent batts every time.

Compatible with the Ashford Standard and Fine Drum Carders.
(Not compatible with the Ashford Wild Drum Carder, which uses a different belt and gear ratio.)
