Description

Product overview
  • CONTEST-F2 is an automated laboratory analyzer for comprehensive measurement and classing of cotton bale fiber properties, including length, strength, elongation, micronaire, maturity, colour grade and trash content.
  • Suitable for both raw cotton and cleaned lint; the system provides repeatable results independent of operator influence.
  • Fully automatic operation with an intuitive user interface; classing module calibrated with international standard materials. Designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy.


Modules
  • Module 1: measures length and strength-related parameters for raw cotton — upper half mean length (UHML), mean length, uniformity index, short fiber index, strength, elongation, moisture and spinning consistency index.
  • Module 2: evaluates colour and appearance — colour grade, Rd, +b, trash count, trash area and leaf grade for raw cotton.
  • Module 3: characterizes fineness and maturity — micronaire, maturity index for raw cotton; when testing fully cleaned lint, also provides lint surface area (mike), maturity ratio, percentage of mature fibers, fineness and standard fineness.


Example of obtainable data
  • Comprehensive dataset for quality control and classing: length distribution metrics, strength and elongation values, fineness and maturity parameters, colourimetric values, trash count and area, moisture and foreign matter metrics.


Technical specifications
  • Measured length metrics: UHML, mean length, uniformity index, short fiber index.
