Yarn joining: knotters and splicers

The "Splicer" is a pneumatic device joining two yarn ends by mingling of the fibres composing the yarn, resulting in continuity of the yarn itself and giving remarkable benefits in quality and distinct advantages in all subsequent stages of manufacture.

Mesdan have developed a versatile range of "Splicers" in both manual and automatic versions capable of joining yarns which may differ in fibre nature, spinning method, count and torsion. (e.g.: continuous filament, single and twisted spun yarns, open-end, compact and elastomeric varieties.
Splicers which mingle the two yarn ends using compressed air only are particularly suitable to join wool and synthetic yarns are marketed as "Jointair"

Splicers which use water in addition to compressed air are most suitable to join yarns such as cotton and linen, these are marketed as "Aquasplicers".

Both Jointair and Aquasplicer are available in the automatic version for the direct installation on new winding machines, and in a hand operated version for installation together with the Air Track Supply (A.T.S.) system on all textile machines such as assembly winders, twisting machines, manual winders, warping machines and on the creels for knitting together with weft creels in the weaving mills for tail-to-top transfer operations.

Yarn joining: A.T.S. systems
A.T.S. (Air Track Supply) is a complete system which can be fitted on all kind of textile machinery where yarn joining is necessary, enabling a Jointair Splicer or an Aquasplicer to be positioned at any desired position for the convenience of the operator.

Thanks to various standard support brackets, it can be easily attached in the optimum working position, leaving both hands free for yarn manipulation and thus increasing productivity.

Nati 3280 (Neps & Trash indicator)

NATI is an instrument for counting Neps and Trash which are present in slivers of cotton, synthetic or blended fibres coming from a carding machine or combing machine. Neps are classified into three categories, according to their size: >= 0,5 mm, >=0,7mm >= 1 mm.
Trash is classified into two categories, according to size: >= 0,25 mm e >= 0,5 mm. Neps and Trash

negatively affect the quality of the yarn emanating from sliver or roving, therefore their constant control by the spinner operator is highly important. The operator can at any time ameliorate the process by (a) reducing the carding machine speed, (b) changing regulations, c) replacing card clothing, d) varying blends.

NATI instrument is produced in collaboration between Mesdan-Lab (a division of Mesdan Spa) and Keisokki Kogyo based in Osaka (Japan). NATI is marketed and distributed in Pakistan by Mesdan through Madhani Associates.
