The QuickSpin System
Warp spinning & ring spinning equipment manufacturer Spindelfabrik Suessen GmbH approved the Testing Equipment for Clearly Evaluating Raw Material Quality.
Raw material represents one of the most significant factors in yarn production costs (in many cases, the figure exceeds 50 percent).
Consequently, the fibre material and the fibre material composition that are chosen are absolutely critical aspects regarding both yarn quality and the profitability of spinning mills.
The QuickSpin System (QSS) is the approved and highly advanced fibre testing system, facilitating the accurate forecasting of yarn properties and their processability. Remarkably, this can be achieved by using even very small fibre samples.
The QSS comprises two independent units: Microdust-Trash Analyzer (MDTA 3) and QuickSpin Unit (QSU). The QuickSpin System requires only small fibre samples (up to 10 g) and short testing time. It simulates fibre opening to carding. The yarn is formed with real twist. The system collects data regarding spinning behaviour, trash and dust. It is also possible to test raw materials blends.
The QuickSpin System provides data regarding cleanability, opening behaviour, cohesion and stickiness of the fibre material, provides information on tendencies and influences resulting from different raw materials, allows accurate forecasting of yarn properties and their processability and enables cost-effective compositions of various fibre materials.
