Sunlight is the inherent source of energy reaching the earth´s surface. Approximately 5 per cent of the incident sunlight constitutes ultraviolet radiations. The UV spectrum present in the sunlight has shorter wavelength ranging from 280 nm?400 nm.

The spinning supervisory staff with their numerous commitments will not be in a position to inspect in detail each machine and all its settings daily.

In order to monitor an individual thread for finest knots, fluff, filamentation, smallest thick places or even capillary breaks, Loepfe´s newly developed FALCON-i sensor is installed, e.g., before or after a weft feeder.

The term ´SLUB´ is described as ´Thick Place´ in a yarn. In slub yarn, ´slubs´ are deliberately created to produce a desired pattern in the yarn. By altering the slub yarn parameters such as slub diameter, slub length and yarn length or slub interval, one can produce more varieties of slub yarn with different styles.

The textile encyclopedia ´The Rieter Manual of Spinning´ has been the standard work for students, technicians and other interested parties of short-staple spinning for many years. The brand new Volume 7´Processing of Man-Made Fibres´is now available.

Global warming´ and ´carbon footprint´ are buzzwords now. Their importance and the consequential long-term devastating effects of ´Climate Change´ on the environment, habitat and even the existence of our mother Earth are widely discussed. This warming of atmospheric temperature is attributed to the emission of green house gases (GHG) ´carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorocarbons are the major contributors.
