The Rieter Short Staple Yarn Laboratory is designed to
help meet the needs of the textile industry in applied
research.
State-of-the-art machinery converts bales of fiber into spun
yarn using the modern cotton system. Combed and carded yarns
can be processed. Spinning capability includes ring, open-end
and air-jet. Winding and twisting operations follow spinning
for the desired yarn package. Services range from evaluating
the processibility of various fibers and blends to running
trials for the determination of optimum machine settings
and speeds.
