Classifibre, Digital Fibre Length Determiner

Almost all manufacturers have a sampler, in fact still continue to have a sampler, which is round type, and hence skill of a person is involved & required to achieve identical results. Further the sensor in the main instrument used is a wide sensor, ie, 3 mm sensor. This also leads to lot of in-accuracies. Keisokki decided to eliminate both problems and develop a new type of instrument. Hence it introduced its computer technology based Classifibre with: Light source using special linear lamp & not normal spot lamp; 1 mm sensor against 3 mm sensor; Flat sampler.

The total testing time including preparing of sample and display of the fibro­gram with all statistics on the monitor is 20 seconds only. By making above changes in the existing technology the following advantages have been achieved:

• Longest fibre measurable is 80 mm with Classifibre
• No need for calibration cotton, etc
• Detection of short fibres as 3 mm sensor has limitations to detect short fibres accurately
• Information of fibre length at 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, etc available simultaneously
• This is very important for assessment of fly generation & hairiness
• Such small fibres also are known to create pilling in fabric stage
• Information like short fibre content, CV%, 2.5% span length, 5.0% span length, upper half mean length, etc information is available
