The fiber process control syste

Route to best practices in yarn manufacturing Information is virtually useless if not exploited to maximum advantage. That is why the USTER® AFIS PRO 2 shows how to use its valuable data to implement best practices in fiber process optimization. The following examples detail how current users of AFIS® are controlling manufacturing costs and maximizing profits. Best practices for process control: – Optimizing card maintenance cost by monitoring card sliver nep levels to manage grinding and reclothing schedules better – Optimizing comber noil removal by monitoring short fiber, trash and nep removal...

Controlling costs through material monitoring Some of the costliest mistakes in yarn manufacturing arise from poor control of the raw material – both before and during the spinning preparation stages. The financial impact of excess waste, unnecessary cuts, reworking, and paying claims can drive the yarn -  m anufacturing cost way beyond the original cost of the raw material. This is where the USTER ® AFIS PRO  2 shines. Fiber quality is the most critical factor in yarn manufacturing. It directly impacts on whether a yarn meets the mill’s cost requirements and the quality/performance specifications...

Unique technology for accurate test results The USTER ® AFIS PRO  2 sets the standard for process optimization in spinning mills. Class -  l eading, patented technology and over 60 years of fiber testing and textile processing know -  how are the foundations for its success. Spinners know that decisions they make in the mill concerning production rates, machine settings, and maintenance cycles have a significant impact on profit margins and quality. These critical decisions need to be based on the best -  available fiber quality data – as provided by USTER ® AFIS PRO  2 , the most accurate instrument...

Practical examples of the benefits Today, there are more than 900 USTER ® AFIS instruments installed in more than 60 countries worldwide. They are measuring quality throughout the spinning preparation processes – providing industry   tandard results with practical -s commercial benefits. AFIS ® figures are widely used as a statistical basis for product specifications, or resolution of quality claims, as well as an essential aid to meeting operational efficiency and cost goals for spinners. Since the introduction of USTER ® AFIS PRO  2 , a major Turkish spinning mill, producing more than 10 tons...
