The new USTER QUANTUM 3 yarn clearer is an innovative piece of
technology that will repay investments many times. Using the USTER
QUANTUM 3 with its expanded quality measurement capability, con-
sistent yarn quality can be assured. This capability means every meter
of the yarn is tested for compliance with set quality parameters, with
simultaneous detection and removal of unwanted faults and contamina-
tion. Spinners can therefore guarantee
the required quality to the yarn buyer.
With this generation of yarn clearer
everything is newly designed. The
housing, core sensing technologies and
intelligent processing circuitry, cutter
assembly, central clearing unit and user
interfaces are all designed and shaped
by USTER specialists with years of
know-how and practical industry expe-
rience.
Powerful new capacitive, optical and
foreign matter sensors are at the heart
of the USTER QUANTUM 3. They
can see it all, in greater detail than
ever before. In combination with
the powerful processing electronics,
for the first time ever, the system shows the full yarn body – a massive
breakthrough (the yarn body is simply the normal yarn with its set of
expected tolerable natural variations).
This is the first of a series
of articles jointly prepared
with Uster Technologies
being published to educate
mill managers on yarn qual-
