Premier unveils a suite of new products and solutions at ITMA Munich, 2007 Premier Evolvics, a leading global manufacturer of quality and process testing, monitoring and analysing equipment, has recently launched a range of products and solutions.

The company's corporate philosophy integrates the trilogy of intelligent technology, intelligent solutions and intelligent support in bringing about the spinning industry's most comprehensive range of quality and process testing, monitoring and analysing instruments.

The product suite, which was on display at the last year's ITMA Munich included a new and improved ART (High Volume Fibre Tester) with a full function Gravimetric Trash option. The new features in the ART include a moisture corrected strength measurement, a built-in RH sensor, engineering calibration using metal plugs for the automated microniare module and an improved front end report format. The Gravimetric Trash is functionally integrated with the ART central processor. It eliminates the need for multiple passes and has an auto trash collection and weighment. This results in a fast, precise and user friendly measurement.

The aQura NL has been upgraded with a host of software features like the Nep difference, percentage, relative short fibre content (RSFC), length difference percentage, combing optimisation index, process chart and trend and comparison reports for Neps and Length measurement.

The new series of contamination detectors under the Xeni platform: Xeni 2 and Xeni F complement each other for a complete solution for contamination detection in the blow room. The Xeni 2 employs no "Deaf zone" ultrasonic sensors for detecting white PP and a CCD array and its associated high speed image processing to detect contaminants of all types and sizes. The Xeni F is optimised for input of the blow room to optimally detect large sized contaminants.

The Texpert ERP system is now available in a modular configuration and the users can pick any module among the 11 technical and commercial modules available. This reduces the implementation time and phases out the investment for the mill.

A new parameter, redefining the way the yarn hairiness can be measured, is now available. Hair Severity is a new parameter, which reflects the seriousness of the longer hair in spinning, weaving and knitting. A guidebook containing applications, statistics and technology information is now available.

The Premier productivity standard 2007 is a first of its kind of global compilation. It provides an easy to use information on the best levels achieved by mills worldwide with respect to parameters like GR/SH, AEF, EBR, EM etc. Mills can benchmark their performance against the data compiled from 3.5 Million spindles working with Premier Ring ie, Neps is yet another innovative expert tool introduced by Premier. It enables the spinner to predict the yarn neps based on the neps in the Finisher draw frame silver. This is an asset to the mill in optimising their process parameters.

With the launch of Dr Q- the service over the internet program, Premier is on the way of rewriting the way the customer service is rendered in the industry. The service available for Premier Laboratory equipment enables a high equipment uptime and is backed up by a centralised Dr Q resource cell, which helps the customers to solve the equipment problems from a remote login.
