Infrequent yarn faults are long thick places, long thin places, thick ends, spinners doubles, etc. and are rare so that a longer length of yarn needs to be analysed. The classimat system enables a quick and objective estimate of these types of faults. In this context, we are pleased to inform that SITRA has recently acquired an USTER Classimat-5 installation. The Uster Classimat-5 gives all the traditional classification standards, while broadening its focus an estimation of foreign fibre contaminations, periodic faults etc., The Uster classimat-5 also provides conversion to the previous classimat generations (Classimat Quantum & Classimat-3). Here classing of yarns faults into 30 thick and 15 thin places are done based on the length and dimension of the faults.
This latest generation Classimat-5 brings quality assurance to a new level introducing a range of new features and capabilities which redefine this instrument and make it an indispensible testing and decision tool for both producers and users of yarn. Further, comprehensive comparison possibilities with integrated Uster Statistics bench marks facilitate checks against global quality standards.
