Raw cotton is subject to various kinds of contamination, and its removal has long been a headache for quality-conscious spinners. Uster Technologies is proposing a significant and effective solution, to be unveiled for the first time at this year’s major textile machinery exhibition.
Spinners visiting ITMA Asia & CITME in Shanghai will be able to learn about Total Contamination Control, a unique new concept from Uster following its recent acquisition of Jossi Systems AG.
Jossi Systems instruments are now fully-integrated into the Uster product family, and will be seen at the show for the first time in a new livery, matching the familiar red and grey Uster color scheme. Re-branded under the name Uster JOSSI, these instruments maintain their key characteristics of high performance and great reliability in eliminating cotton contamination at the early stages of spinning mill processing.
The potential impact of the Total Contamination Control concept is emphasized by Uster Technologies CEO Geoffrey Scott: “The problem of removing disturbing foreign matter from cotton has for many years been one of the major challenges facing quality-minded spinning mills. We are delighted to announce the development of the Uster Total Contamination Control approach, and we will look forward to explaining to spinners how they can apply it to bring contamination under control.”
The group personnel will also present visitors with the first detailed insight into the way Uster JOSSI instruments complement the existing Uster systems to create a complete solution to the long-time challenge of contamination in cotton mills. The key is interaction between the Uster JOSSIVISION SHIELD and the world-leading Uster QUANTUM 3 yarn clearer to enable spinners to specify and meet precise yarn quality standards consistently and reliably. Exhibition visitors will see how this partnership can provide Total Contamination Control in a specially-dedicated section of the booth.
Uster will always be Uster
The familiar Uster ‘funnels’ at the main booth will ensure visitors quickly feel at home in the show environment. The complete Uster instrument ranges for both fiber and yarn quality control will be shown here – a particular eye-catcher being the latest Uster CLASSIMAT 5 yarn classification system, marked out on the booth by a large red ‘U’.
The ‘Think Quality’ slogan will be exemplified by booth staff as they present the best-selling Uster TESTER 5 offering extensive information on all the key yarn parameters for spun-staple or filament, and specialized laboratory instruments.
