Statex
- HVI |
Statex
- HVI is the most advanced instrument for testing of fibre properties.
It measures 2.5% and 50% span length, strength, elongation, micronaire,
maturity ratio, percentage of maturity, Fineness, UV-Status and colour
Rd;+b.It also provides uniformity ratio, Short fibre percentage,
mean length, upper half mean length, uniformity index and fibrogram.
|
 |
|
Statex - HVI consists of automatic brushing unit, auto comb
transport mechanism, Fibre length and strength measuring module
and micronaire module. |
| The fibre
length and strength is measured with the same fibre sample prepared
by the
comb. A self diagnosis software for immediate identification
of mechanical and electronic faults. |
|
Optional:
Maturity and colour module.

Finemat
- Maturity Tester : - Fully automatic
finemat facilitate to measure actual maturity value by double compression
method (Patent Pending).A special software provides three maturity
mode of tests to compare the maturity result with other instrument
result. All the above Test Report contains maturity ratio, percentage
of maturity, Fineness.
| Shirley
Mode |
: |
This
results are highly comparable with Shirley maturity tester value. |
| Statex
Mode |
: |
This
result - Statex claiming as standard. |
| AFIS
Mode |
: |
This
results are highly comparable with USTER- AFIS instrument
Maturity Value. |
| Test
Report contains Maturity Ratio, Percentage of Maturity, Fineness. |

Colour
: - Statex colour mode having two options to test colour of
fibres.
They are
- UV-
Reflection - This mode measures the "UV-
Status®of the
fibre by UV Light reflection principle. The "UV-Status"
highly correlated with colour absorption in fibre
and variation in cloth.
- Rd;
+bvalue - This mode measures the Rd
- Reflectance and +b yellowness of fibre by halogen
light reflection principle.

Medium
Volume Instrument |
|
Statex Medium volume instrument is the new system
of fibre testing equivalent to HVI in testing accuracy, while comparing
the testing speed it is equivalent in length and micronaire modules,
the testing speed of the strength module is slightly lower but sufficient
to medium volume requirement.
MVI is fully controlled by Computer.
It comprises of the following modules namely:
|
 |
|
|
|
| All
the above models are also available as stand alone instruments as follows. |
Electrospan |
|
Statex
Electrospan automatically measures fibre length characteristics
of samples taken from bales, blowroom, cards, drawframes and combers.
Optic principle is used to test fibre length characteristics like
2.5% and 50 % span length, and also provides uniformity ratio, short
fibre percentage , mean length, upper half mean length, uniformity
index and fibrogram.

|
|
Electromic |
 |
Statex
Electromic measures the cotton micronaire value.
Estimates the linear density of fibre in terms of micronaire value
from 2.2 to 8.0 micronaire directly in computer.Fast,simple and
easy with accurate test results.
Optional
:
- Maturity
model to measure maturity ratio and percentage of matured
fibres
|
|
| |
|
|
Electrostelo |
|
Constant
rate of loading principle to measure the breaking strength of a
flat bundle sample of fibres. Optical mass measurement makes the
result quick and accurate. Electrostelo breaking strength is highly
correlated with stelometer breaking strength.
