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 fibers less than 65 mm into spun yarn. Spinning capability includes ring, compact, open-end and air-jet spinning. Services range from evaluating the processibility of various fibers and blends to running trials for the determination of optimum machine settings and speeds.
