This is well docu-mented in an USTERTensojet 4 scatterplot diagram of con-ditioned versusunconditioned yarn.
Conditioning athigher temperaturealso reduces the live-liness and torque inyarns, improving theprocess efficiency inany subsequentprocess.
Spoerry recog-nizes the quality
improvements achieved through yarn conditioning. All yarns pro-duced pass through a specially designed XORELLA conditioningprocess.
Due to the very fine yarn counts produced with extra finecotton fiber, Spoerry has engineered a conditioning process espe-cially geared to quality improvement and consistency of treat-ment for its products.
The final conditioning process is fully automatically handled,with yarns being treated on pallets.
The unique material-handling solution enables Spoerry totreat each pallet twice with a precise cool-down period inbetween the two cycles.
Extraordinary XORELLA conditioning treatment leads tounmatched quality improvement of the finished yarn cones. �
