from raw cotton to finished fabrics

The high standard of our pro-ducts is achieved thanks to the most modern production tech-nologies and highly motivated personnel. Constant dialog between engi-neering, production and custo-mers all over the world have led to highly reliable products.

Technology with less power consumption helps save energy costs. Genius detection and ejec-tion systems reduce the loss of good cotton to a minimum.

Pollution of the environment, cost pressure and availability of clean cotton makes it difficult for spin-ning mills to obtain the required cotton quality. Foreign particles influence the quality of the end product and must be eliminated preferable at the beginning of the yarn pro-duction. Today’s quality require-ments are very high. They can only be achieved with efficiently cleaned cotton.

The new IMAGING SPECTROSCOPE with the latest microchip technology delivers a high degree of ef-ficiency. The expanded spectrum of wavelengths detects very small and low-contrast impurities. This broader optical spectrum of the IMAGING SPECTROSCOPE leads to a remarkable performance of the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD. The result is an improved yarn quality, at a level never before achieved.

USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD technology not only leads to an improved final product and also enhances production process security. Less yarn breakage in the spinning and weaving process reduces time and effort and therefore cuts costs.

searching the limits

Neatly ordered and classified

Even smallest contamination and impurities are detected by the new generation of the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD. Due to the state-of-the-art microchip technology of the customized IMAGING SPECTROSCOPE, the detection of a single hair is possible.

The algorithms of the new software can differentiate and categorize the kind of contamination. To avoid un-necessary ejections causing loss of good cotton, stems and other plant parts are recognized and deliberately not ejected. This, because plant parts, such as stems and parts of seed-shells, are preferably removed by mechanical cleaners of the blow room line which leads to less loss of good cotton.

the performance continues

White Polypropylene, frequently just called white PP, is commonly used as packing material for cotton bales and for fertilizer bags used on cotton fields. No wonder scraps of white PP are often found in cotton.

For a long time stripes of white PP contaminating the cotton remained a big headache for many spinners, because eliminating impurities from cotton tufts with similar color to cotton is a big challenge.The optical systems designed to detect colored impurities, could only do the job to a limited extent. Therefore, Jossi developed a new way of detecting plastic based on the scattering effect. Light shining on cotton tufts forms a wide halo, where as a light beam shining on plastic forms a small reflection with sharp edges.

Why does the new USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD fit so well to your needs?Because it adapts to your conditions.

You may remember in earlier years, hand sorting was done with the aid of UV light. Today, USTER applies the same method by using newest technology to detect optically brightened material.

The USTER® JOSSI VTECT works on LED technology emitting UV light, letting all material with brightener shine intensely, what makes it detectable.

. . . UV, a reliable and proven method

Additionally, USTER provides the USTER® JOSSI MAGIC EYE for all kinds of synthetic impurities. This mod-ule detects all kinds of synthetics, including white, non-brightened polypropylene.

It’s a good feeling to know you made the right choice.USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD for peace of mind.

important details

In order to detect impurities they need to be visible. Impurities covered by cotton can not be detected.For this reason appropriate presentation of the cotton tufts in front of the spectroscopes becomes of biggest importance. Small cotton tufts, evenly spread, ensure no contamination can hide behind cotton.

The longer the distance from the opening unit, the higher the chance the small cotton tufts have gathered and accumulated to a big, intransparent tuft – maybe hiding impurities.

Therefore the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD is designed with a bottom-up flow, ensuring detection is close to the opening cylinder, where cotton tufts are still small and evenly spread.

Only this configuration will lead to highest efficiency.

. . . no hiding for impurities
