Automated contamination removal for nonwovens

USTER®JOSSI VISION SHIELD N   

Zero-tolerance contamination sorting for flawless end products.

Nonwovens applications such as medical, hygiene and cosmetics demand two non-negotiable rules: zero-tolerance and reliability.

The Uster Jossi Vision Shield N contamination sorter masters this essential job with ease and security. It ensures a perfect experience for the end-user.

Frequently asked questions

Uster Jossi Vision Shield has a capacity of 2,000 kg per hour. The system readily copes with the pace of standard production environments.

Contaminants can hide inside bigger fiber bundles, and this can impact significantly on detection. The ideal location for optimum results is therefore immediately after the fine opener.

Fine plastic strings are indeed a very difficult type of contamination to eliminate with today’s processes.

Thanks to the Imaging Spectroscopes such contaminants can be reliably detected, regardless of their fineness. The system is also able to detect contamination as fine as a human hair.

The Uster spectroscopes operate across a much greater wavelength. So they can find contamination even within the ‘invisible’ range of IR and UV light.

Fragments of contamination in light pastel colors and white are also no problem.

It is possible to view pictures of every ejected contaminant on the touchscreen, to verify that only the required material is removed.

Additionally, through its Quick Teach feature, the system automatically ‘learns’ the correct color of each new raw material lot within seconds. This prevents any annoying false ejections when changing material lots.

The most advanced technology solution for highest detection rate

Uster’s high-end Imaging Spectroscopes for Uster Jossi Vision Shield N are based on 20 years’ experience.

Conventional camera-based systems cannot match the Uster spectroscopes’ performance. Operating across a much greater wavelength, they can find contamination even within the ‘invisible’ range of IR and UV light.

Fragments of contamination in light pastel colors and white are no problem.

Reliable detection of colored and fused fibers, black spots, metal or wood particles, greased deposits, and synthetic fragments.

The Imaging Spectroscopes can detect plastic strings, regardless of their fineness. The system is able to detect contamination as fine as a human hair.

The most advanced technology solution for lowest fiber waste

Uster Jossi Vision Shield N continuously measures the velocity of the fiber bundles. Precision valves then match the timing and duration of each ejection, so that only the required amount of contaminant is removed. This minimizes the amount of good material wasted with each ejection.

The unique ‘cyclone’ feature uses a crossflow circulation, preventing waste from getting back into the production flow for efficient and

economical operation.
