u JOSSI VISION SHIELD TFor clean cotton
In today’s competitive markets, spinning mills need to deliver yarn of the right quality every time. The yarn must meet the expectations of customers, be free of unacceptable defects, and be produced with optimum use of resources. And all this has to be achieved in an extremely challenging business environment!
Take control of your quality – Think Quality™USTER’s unique Think Quality™ approach is the way to ‘manage your spinning mill with quality in mind’. It combines the many aspects of our products and services to ensure the right quality is produced every time. Think Quality™ the USTER way means helping textile producers to improve their control of quality, with the ultimate aim of turning quality into profitability. To achieve predictable profits for long-term business sustainability.
The principles are simple. Priorities include: a clear specification; the right measuring systems; a ‘fast response’ control of production; a good understanding of improvement options; and optimization of processes for business sustainability.
Contamination control – a key challenge for mill managementContamination is one of the most serious quality problems facing spinners today and needs to be managed extremely well. It is found in even the best raw cotton – and spinners know that it can cause serious defects in their yarn. Rejects and quality claims by customers mean reduced profit and loss of reputation for the spinner.
The safest way to guard against these risks is early detection and removal of foreign matter – including trash, leaves, colored waste and packaging. Automatic early-stage cleaning requires continuous checking with highly-sensitive equipment, to protect all downstream processes against foreign matter fragments. The consequent reduction in foreign matter also results in a productivity increase in spinning and winding.
Welcome to the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T – a key element in ‘Total Contamination Control’!

SecurityInitial foreign matter detection in the blowroom, and a final check at the winder – it’s the secure solution for customer satisfaction.
Better profit margins – lower risk of costly quality claimsBoth USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T and USTER® QUANTUM 3 provide best-in-class foreign matter detection and come with powerful tools to select and remove only disturbing contaminants – saving more waste than any other system. Two USTER® products combined, to guarantee lowest remaining contamination – with minimum waste and maximum productivity, every time!
One source for both products A single contact-point for service, covering both products. USTER experts will set up both systems ideally for customer needs, usually at one visit. Only USTER has the know-how and service support to set up both systems optimally to match customer needs.
Total Contamination Control: the double defense, only from Uster Technologies
Spinners need to produce the right yarn quality, as cost-effectively as possible. Contamination by foreign matter is a real threat to these objectives. That’s why Uster Technologies has worked on ‘Total Contamination Control’ – a double defense securing both yarn quality and mill profitability.
The proven technology of USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T and USTER® QUANTUM 3 eliminates foreign matter at both ends of the yarn process. Uster Technologies is the only single-source provider of this integrated solution. Total Contamination Control means precisely-specified yarns, with minimum waste.

SPECTROSCOPE technology has the advantageUSTER® high-end IMAGING SPECTROSCOPES for the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T are backed by over 20 years’ experience. Conventional camera-based systems can’t match their performance. Operating across a much greater wavelength, SPECTROSCOPES can find contamination even within the ‘invisible’ range of IR and UV light – right down to the size of a single hair. Light pastel colors are also no problem.
‘Quick Teach’ system for color variationsSophisticated technology, easy to operate: USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T has the ‘Quick Teach’ feature, which automatically ‘learns’ the correct color of the raw material. Other colors – even tiny variations – are classed as foreign matter for ejection. New raw material lots are ‘learned’ within seconds.
Ideal position for best detectionCorrect positioning of the fiber cleaning system in the blowroom is crucial. Tuft size is the key here. Contaminants can hide inside bigger tufts, and this can impact significantly on detection and the cost of removal. Positioned immediately after the fine opener, USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T brings unrivaled detection power and removal efficiency, for top fiber cleaning performance.
Colored contamination: biggest problem needs the best technology solution
The most common foreign matter headaches for spinners come from colored con- taminants, which have the potential to ruin a batch of yarn. USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T eases the pain, applying sophisticated IMAGING SPECTROSCOPES, which can pinpoint the slightest color differences and smallest impurities in cotton.

Detection of colored polypropyleneIMAGING SPECTROSCOPES detect across a much greater wavelength than conventional camera systems. Colored polypropylene as small as a single hair is picked up for ejection, even in IR and UV light ranges. The technology deals with various types of polypropylene, as well as other synthetics such as polyethylene and polyester.
UV system picks up optical brightenerRegular light sources cannot distinctly show up optically-brightened material. USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T includes VTECT with durable LED technology to emit UV light, which picks out these contaminants for removal.
Polypropylene: unique sensor technologies to help protect spinners against costly quality claims
Polypropylene is a popular packaging material for cotton bales. But spinners risk expensive claims when it gets into a batch of raw material. USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T tackles polypropylene contamination with a range of unique sensor technologies.
– Unmatched performance in detection of colored synthetics– Scattering effect pinpoints white and clear polypropylene– LED technology (VTECT) identifies optically-brightened material
Precisely timed ejections greatly reduce wasteThe USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T continuously measures the velocity of the cotton tufts. In combination with the precision valve array, the timing and duration of each ‘ejection puff ’ action to remove contaminants is precisely matched. Contaminants are therefore reliably taken out with as little ‘good’ material as possible per ejection.
‘Cyclone’ feature means ejected waste stays outThe unique ‘Cyclone’ feature uses a crossflow circulation, preventing waste from getting back into the production flow. The USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T ejection module guarantees efficient and economical operation.
Mill comparison proves raw material savingsSeveral mill trials around the world have proven that the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T has the lowest number of ejections and the lowest weight per ejection. The graph here compares the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T against another system, under the same mill conditions. It shows that the USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T removes about 75 % less cotton per ejection, saving tons of raw material every year.
Managing waste – to save costs and maximize value
The process of detecting and removing foreign matter contamination from cotton will inevitably generate some waste at the same time. Spinners need to ensure that a minimum of good fiber is lost. USTER® JOSSI VISION SHIELD T uses a range of tools that preserve the value of the raw material.
