With the increasing usage of stretch fabrics in sports as well as daily wear garments, the process of yarn clearing stands as a challenge for the apparel manufacturers. Hence, to eliminate yarn faults during winding, the manufacturer of sensors and monitoring equipment for yarn spinning and fabric weaving processes, Loepfe presented a yarn clearer for the core yarns, Zenit+.
The slippage between the inner elasthane filament and the staple fibre result in partial covering by the cotton fibres, in the core yarns that are used in stretch fabrics. Zenit+ utilizes an optical method to identify thin and thick faults during winding with an additional triboelectric sensor to detect synthetic foreign matter.
