Swiss firm Uster to hold webinar on zero-level contamination control

Managing quality with Uster Jossi Vision Shield N at the fibre preparation stage ensures that only contamination-controlled products are delivered. The Uster system prevents defects from the production processes reaching the end-product, according to a press release by the company.

Bio-cotton is a trend growing from the sustainability movement. Customers are willing to pay higher prices for ‘all natural’ products. Bales of cotton typically contain various kinds of contamination—none of which should get into the final product, and ideally should be removed at the earliest stage of production.

Eliminating contamination during fibre preparation—and before the contaminants are shredded into smaller particles by the further processes—improves the quality of the raw material and reduces waste. The Uster Jossi Vision Shield N contamination sorter ensures the best possible detection and removal of contamination, right after the fibre opener. Reliable detection also works with bleached cotton. Fragments of contamination in light pastel colours and white are no problem either.

Nonwovens producers expect high quality and no contamination when purchasing synthetic fibres. Control is the only secure method when operating a business in highly sensitive applications such as medical textiles. Durable or non-durable, the product must be super clean. Contamination is not acceptable, and snow-white colour generally a must. Producers have the security they need with Uster Jossi Vision Shield N. With synthetic fibres in white, light pastels, and light shades of grey, detection of the tiniest contamination fragments is not a problem.

Nonwovens applications such as medical, hygiene, and cosmetics demand two non-negotiable rules: zero-tolerance and reliability. Contamination control is the supreme discipline in producing nonwovens for sensitive applications.

In the upcoming webinar, Uster experts Wolfram Soell (application engineer, textile technology) and Mario Siegenthaler (product manager, fibre cleaning) will show how contamination can be managed at the fibre cleaning stage. They will explain the latest technology of Uster Jossi Vision Shield N and answer the questions of the webinar attendees.
