CTT - Lint Generation Tester
INTRODUCTION
The CTT Lint test measures the amount of the lint that is generated during 1km long test while the yarn is running under constant tension at test speeds up to 360m/min.
The Lint generation test is helpful to analyze the amount of yarn shedding. Excessive lint creates problems for fabric production machines, work environment and appear as defects on the fabric.
During the Lint Test, the yarn is wrapped around itself. As the yarn is moving, the generated lint will be collected on a piece of paper under the vacuum sealed enclosure. The test automatically ends when 1km of yarn is passed. The amount of lint that is generated is expressed as mg/1km.
The CTT Lint Generation Tester determines how much lint a yarn will generate under certain manufacturing conditions, including:
| A. Yarn-to-yarn thread paths | C. Yarn-to-ceramic |
| B. Yarn-to-metal thread path | D. Yarn-to-needles, sinkers and reeds (at any angle) |
Operation
Yarn lint is collected and weighed to provide a lint factor (LF) for comparison with similar yarns. The yarn is tested dynamically to more closely simulate actual production conditions and provides timely an accurate data.
Advantages
Directly improves profitability by monitoring raw material processing and reducing knitting and weaving machine stops.
Endusers
Yarn manufacturers, knitters and weavers
