New testing systems - 'test every bale at the gin level'

摘要

Multifunctional fiber quality tester is the chosen name that was given to the new testing systems which test together fiber properties, contamination and impurities. These systems differ in technology and size and are much more economical than the combination of the three or four fiber testers that are used today for the same purpose in fiber testing laboratories. The worldwide cotton textile industry is confronting a massive competition with MMF that is much more uniform and sometimes stronger andsuffers much less from foreign material, evenness, stickiness, neps etc.--but it is not cotton. Cotton is still a very commonly used raw material that we all would like to keep as a major player in the industry. How can the mentioned new Fiber Quality Testing systems contribute to this effort?
