As well as its established expertise in spinning, the Swiss company now offers quality management solutions for nonwovens and fabric production.

More recently, USTER opened up its expertise to both nonwovens manufacturing and the fabric production industry. Its extended product range now brings optimized quality and efficiency across all these sectors, implementing the unique Think Quality™ approach.

USTER® standards and precise measurement provide unparalleled advantages for producing consistent quality at minimum cost. USTER’s commitment to state-of-the-art technology ensures the comfort and feel of the finished product – satisfying the demands of a sophisticated market. The Swiss company helps customers to benefit from its applied practical knowledge and experience – so that they can ‘think quality, think USTER’.
New: quality for nonwovens…
USTER occupies a unique position in the textile industry. Its broad range of products reaches across the textile chain to a degree unmatched by any other supplier. In recent years, USTER has added two further industries alongside its long-standing strengths in fiber classing and spinning.
The USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD N was the gateway into the nonwovens industry. Fiber cleaning is the most effective way to meet the high-standards of hygiene and medical applications. Such products demand zero tolerance for contamination – and USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD N takes care of this, early in the production process. Fiber cleaning by USTER ensures the best possible initial inspection and removal of contamination. This improves the quality of the raw material and reduces waste, by eliminating contamination during fiber preparation, before the contamination is shredded into smaller pieces by further processing.
USTER® EVS FABRIQ VISION N, on the other hand, is located at the end of the production sequence, allowing automated detection and marking of all the main defects arising from the process.
The combination of USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD N and USTER® EVS FABRIQ VISION N means USTER can offer a complete quality monitoring solution for nonwovens, with effective and efficient removal of contamination and faults. This combined solution makes it possible today for nonwovens producers to protect quality, avoid material waste and take full advantage of the potential for process optimization.
…And weavers, dyers and finishers
USTER is also determined to establish its quality control systems in weaving, dyeing and finishing mills. Here, automated solutions support quality assurance and optimization of fabric yield in the final product. Automated inspection technology means fabric producers need depend less on human judgment, while producing consistent, reliable quality.
USTER® Q-BAR 2 provides early-stage detection of defects on-loom. USTER® FABRIQ EXPERT collects quality maps centrally for each roll. USTER® EVS FABRIQ VISION automates the inspection and grading process for greige and finished fabrics. And USTER® EVS FABRIQ SHADE ensures color uniformity of fabrics.
