uAFIS PRO 2 - Uster Technologies

Practical examples of the benefitsToday, there are more than 900 USTER ® AFIS instrumentsinstalled in more than 60 countries worldwide. They aremeasuring quality throughout the spinning preparationprocesses – providing industry - standard results with practicalcommercial benefits. AFIS ® figures are widely used as astatistical basis for product specifications, or resolutionof quality claims, as well as an essential aid to meetingoperational efficiency and cost goals for spinners.Throughout the textile industry, leading mills depend onAFIS ® for optimizing product quality, mill efficiency, andproduction cost – while the world’s top research institutionsrely on AFIS ® for their researches into improving fiberquality and production processes.Their confidence comes from the unmatched accuracy andreproducibility of test results with USTER ® AFIS PRO 2. Timeafter time, USTER ® AFIS PRO 2 comes out on top for test resultaccuracy and machine - to - machine test reproducibility, asmeasured by independent worldwide comparison trials.It is an assurance of performance which can deliverpositive results to the bottom line of any spinning mill –as exemplified by the following practical examples.Since the introduction of USTER ® AFIS PRO 2, a majorTurkish spinning mill, producing more than 10 tons ofcombed and carded 100 % cotton yarn per day, reportssome impressive gains. The plant now enjoys about5 % less blowroom and card waste. Additionally, combernoil has been reduced by 2– 3 %, and a sizableimprovement has been made in yarn quality levels asrelated to USTER ® STATISTICS.Even more importantly, monitoring short - fiber contentand critical nep size has allowed the mill to determine thefinest yarn count it can produce from each batch of cotton.As a result, the mill has been able to spin finer countsfrom the same cotton supply, saving on raw - material cost,thanks to the accurate fiber quality data obtained fromUSTER ® AFIS PRO 2.At the same time, a Chinese spinning mill operating300 000 spindles and supplying yarn to major globalclothing and furniture brands has reached new qualityand cost levels using USTER ® AFIS PRO 2. After optimizingthe mill’s processes, waste has been reduced, leadingto a 5 % reduction in raw - material needs and a yieldimprovement of almost 4 %.Real - world examples of successusing USTER ® AFIS PRO 2– Leading mills depend on AFIS ®for optimizing product quality,mill efficiency, and productioncost– A Turkish spinning mill nowenjoys about 5 % less blowroomand card waste, and combernoil has been reduced by 2 – 3 %– A Chinese spinning milloperating 300 000 spindlesrealized a 5 % reduction in raw -material needs and a yieldimproved by almost 4 %– These improvements lead toquick paybacks in investment
