ITMA Asia 2005: Uster Presents Golden Quantum Clearers
By Jim Borneman, Editor In Chief
Uster Technologies AG, Switzerland, announced the production of the millionth Uster® Quantum yarn
clearer at ITMA Asia 2005. The milestone followed six years of production and development since the
introduction of the Quantum clearer. During the celebration to commemorate the occasion, officials
of the company extended thanks to their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners. In an
unusual gathering of the industry’s spinning machinery competitors, Uster presented each OEM
partner with a golden Quantum clearer and expressed its sincere appreciation for the close and
long-standing relationships.

Company officials pointed to constant new developments in functionality and options, including the Uster Quantum clearer’s unique ability to detect transparent and white polypropylene (PP) fibers. This function was considered a breakthrough in yarn clearing because the PP fibers typically only become apparent after dyeing, which creates second-quality goods. Detection and clearing of such defects are important for consistent quality and increased yarn value.
