The method currently employed involves cutting filaments to translate RPMs of a rotating blade into dosing volumes, ensuring controlled and accurate dosing. This integration relies on homogeneous marker fiber dilution, which is essential for maintaining material integrity throughout the process. By ensuring consistency and reliability in dosing, our cutting-edge dosing device, equipped with patented Chopcot® technology, delivers precise quantities of marker fiber into ginning and spinning processes, further enhancing the effectiveness of the entire traceability ecosystem. With Marker Fiber and our advanced dosing device, textile manufacturers can confidently navigate the complexities of modern production, secure in the knowledge that their materials are traceable, authentic, and of the highest quality.

To ensure accurate dosing of marker fibers, constant blending with other fibers is crucial. However, traditional dosing methods like sliver combing proved unstable and logistically unsuitable due to compression and fiber breakage issues. Tailorlux’s patented Chopcot® technology overcomes these challenges by enabling controlled dosing through filaments and rotation cutting, ensuring precise integration of integriTEX® marker fibers.

„We were honored to have the opportunity to present our ground-breaking cotton traceability solution at the 37th International Cotton Conference Bremen. As sustainability becomes increasingly important in the textile industry, traceability is a powerful tool to drive positive change and build a more transparent and responsible supply chain,“ says Tobias Herzog, Managing Director of Tailorlux GmbH.

Exact dosing with field proven technology

Every fiber matter and ensuring the exact dosage of marker fiber is essential for maintaining quality and integrity throughout the supply chain. That’s where our patented Chopcot® technology comes in, revolutionizing the way marker fibers are dosed into ginning and spinning processes. This technology creates the entry point for integriTEX® marker fibers. The unit crimps and cuts filaments to staple fiber, and then doses the fiber into the material flow. Operating at very low material throughput volumes, specifically achieving precise dosing of less than 1 kilo per hour, is crucial for certain applications. the ability to accurately handle such minimal quantities is where the true challenge and value lie. This level of precision ensures that even small-scale processes maintain the required standards and outcomes.

How it works

The patented technology ensures frictionless cutting by crimping the fiber at the same time. This works at high speed to provide dosing in constant quality. The blades can operate at various speed levels to deliver up to 80 kg per hour. Housing, fan, creel, yarn breakage sensor and control box complete the chopper as a plug & play solution. An IoT box can be added anytime to receive telemetry data on dosing operations.
