, which helps yarn manufacturers to fi ght the contamination
problem.
This detection system is installed in the creel of draw frames handling the fi rst step drawing
or in the creel of the lapper.
The purpose is to stop the draw frame or the lapper, if a contaminated sliver is detected, so
that the operator can eliminate the contamination, thus avoiding that second step drawing
and spinning spreads the contamination over many meters of yarn.
