HIGH VOLUME COTTON TESTING EQUIPMENT Cotton classing • To test all cotton classification values, such as: length, strength, elongation, micronaire, maturity, colour grade and trash • Can test both raw cotton or lint • Test results independent from operator influence due to highly automated operation • Classing module is calibrated with international standard materials • Fully automatic • Designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy

CONTEST-F2 Code 3302F Length Short fibers Strength Elongation Moisture Colour grade Leaf grade S.C.I Description CONTEST-F2 has been developed to measure all relevant fiber data from cotton bales. The instrument consists of 3 modules: • Module 1 measures all parameters related to the length and strength classification of raw cotton, like upper half mean length, mean length, uniformity index, strength, elongation, short fiber index, moisture, as well as the spinning consistency index; • Module 2 evaluates the color and appearance classification of raw cotton, such as colour grade, Rd, +b, trash...

Description Data / Value MODULE 1 Upper Half mean length, Mean Length, ML [mm or inch] Uniformity Index, UI [%] Short Fiber Index, SFI [%] Optical measurement of the fibers which are randomly clamped in a comb , Short fibers (bundle fiber measurement). All length parameters derive from the fibrogram g to be processed for analysis. These are UHML, ML and UI. The short fibers index (SFI) refers to the fibers which are shorter than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). Physical measurement of the fiber strength by clamping and breaking the Strength / Elongation fibers at a distance of 1/8 inch (bundle fiber measurement)....
