Uster case study focused on an Indian yarn manufacturer which originally invested in early-stage fiber cleaning in 2009, and has since upgraded to Total Contamination Control, combining the Uster Jossi Vision Shield and Uster Quantum 3. An experienced member of the Uster sales team in India, J. C. Kumaar has a strong relationship with his customers in the south of the country. His knowledge gained over 20 years has enabled him to assist an important client to implement step-by-step improvements in contamination control, in line with the company’s goal of continual enhancement of yarn quality.

This customer made its initial move into fiber cleaning in the blow room, with its purchase seven years ago of the Vision Shield MPIX by Jossi. Since then, the customer has stepped up its requirements, especially with regard to polypropylene contaminant removal, opting for the Uster Jossi Magic Eye in 2015. The company spins yarn for the high-quality segment, typically mixing Guntur and Giza cottons to produce yarn counts of Nec 50s, 40s and 26s. A medium-sized mill, its priorities were better contamination control without increasing waste or causing more yarn clearer cuts at the winding stage.

The first stage in the upgrading of the mill’s contamination control came in 2015. Kumaar explains that the decision was made to tackle the challenge at fiber cleaning stage. For better fiber cleaning results, the existing Jossi fiber cleaner was upgraded with the Uster Jossi Magic Eye.
