Comber PB34

The well-documented NSC combing machine models you can find in official catalogs are ERA, ERA40/50, ALFA, and ALFA LIN — but PB34 is not listed on NSC’s current combing machine pages as a manufactured model with published specs. Older PB-series machines do exist (e.g., PB28, PB29, PB30, PB31, PB32, PB33) commonly sold as used equipment by third-party machinery dealers, but the specific PB34 model does not appear in those listings. Some spare parts suppliers reference PB-series combing machines broadly (e.g., feed comb strips for PB-series), but they do not provide model-specific data for PB34.

What This Usually Means

There are a few possibilities for why “PB34” specs aren’t available online:

  1. PB34 may not be a standard production model from NSC — it might be a custom, internal, or regional variant not documented in public brochures.
  2. It could be a mis-remembered model designation — many textile combing plants refer to PB series machines informally (e.g., PB3x), but official catalogs only list other series like ERA, ALFA, etc.
  3. Very old or discontinued equipment often has no online documentation, only used-equipment listings without detailed specs.

What You Can Do to Get Specs

If you need precise technical details for a PB34 machine (e.g., nip speed, feed length, motor power, creel configuration), the best ways are:
Check the machine nameplate or data tag on the actual equipment (it often lists key specifications directly).
Request a service manual or parts manual from a textile machinery parts supplier or refurbisher dealing in NSC combers.
Contact NSC Schlumberger representatives or authorized agents (e.g., in India) to ask for archived spec sheets if the model was ever officially produced.
