The card C 80 has the largest active carding area, which improves fiber opening and cleaning. It has 40 active flats and precise carding gap settings, leading to high sliver quality and finally to more efficient spinning. Energy efficiency is another advantage. The improved drive system and suction technology lower energy consumption while keeping output high. The modular design reduces maintenance and machine downtime.

Long-Term Partnership With Rieter Pays Off

Jinshangjia has used Rieter’s technology since 2013. Gu Jingguo, general manager of Chuzhou Jinshangjia Yarn Industry Co. Ltd., emphasized: “Our cooperation with Rieter dates back to 2013. For more than a decade, we have relied on Rieter’s equipment, advanced technology and professional service. The card C 80 is characterized by high stability, remarkable production efficiency and a long service life. The sliver is of superior quality, with fewer neps, ensuring excellent yarn quality. This is highly appreciated by our customers.”

By investing in the C 80, Jinshangjia strengthens its position as an innovative company. With the advanced carding technology, it continues to improve production, ensuring growth and high-quality yarn for the global textile market.

Crowley’s Fourth Avance Class Vessel, Torogoz, Begins Maiden Commercial Voyage

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — August 12, 2025 — Crowley’s latest Avance Class ship, Torogoz, began its inaugural commercial service on Tuesday, departing from Port Everglades, Florida, to serve Central America. The vessel’s commencement is a capstone on the company’s initiation of the four-vessel, Avance Class containership fleet.

Crowley’s fourth Avance Class LNG-powered vessel, Torogoz, begins service.

With a capacity of 1,400 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units), including 300 refrigerated containers, the ship is specifically designed and equipped to quickly and frequently deliver cargo, including apparel, fresh produce, food products, pharmaceuticals and textiles, between the United States and El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

Torogoz, like the other Avance class vessels, is powered by lower-emission liquefied natural gas (LNG), advancing the company’s next era of faster, frequent ocean shipping that reduces impacts at sea and at port.

“Bringing Torogoz into service to complete the landmark introduction of our Avance Class fleet marks a major milestone in Crowley’s commitment to bringing efficient logistics solutions to customers in Central America and the Caribbean Basin,” said Vice President Claudia Kattan-Jordan, Crowley Logistics for Central America, Panama and Mexico. “Because of Torogoz’s capacity for diverse dry and refrigerated goods, Crowley can provide faster, high-capability service with reliability that is unmatched in the trade.”

The Torogoz follows the operation of its sister ships: Tiscapa, Quetzal and Copán.  All four of the Avance Class ships are named to honor the cultural aspects of Central America, where Crowley has operated shipping and logistics services for more than 60 years.

Torogoz, also known as a turquoise-browed motmot, is the national bird of El Salvador. Revered by Mayan and other Mesoamerican civilizations, the bird has likely lived on the continent for thousands of years and has long held spiritual significance in the region.

Shelton Vision To Bring Deep Learning AI To ITMA Asia + CITME 2025

MANCHESTER, England — August 12, 2025 — Machine learning and AI are now entering the field of textile technology and at this year’s ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition from October 28-31 in Singapore, England-based Shelton Vision will demonstrate how these advanced new disciplines are informing its latest machine vision technology.

The Shelton Vision stand-alone AI Classifier and review station.

The company is one of a 20-strong delegation of members of the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) who will be present at the Singapore exhibition, showcasing advances in technologies for new high performance fibres and fabrics, as well as testing, instrumentation and control in processing.

The ability to detect and classify even the tiniest faults in both plain or fully patterned fabrics which are moving at industrial speeds is significant  breakthrough. In Singapore, Shelton Vision will demonstrate its latest machine vision inspection technology which incorporates machine learning to provide a defect detection level of above 98%, and Deep Learning AI to provide up to 100% defect classification and grading accuracy.

Third party adoption

Shelton will also demonstrate a stand-alone AI Classifier in multiple applications used within the Shelton suite of vision system components. This is can be adapted for use with existing third party inspection systems that do not have defect classification (naming) or grading functionality – eliminating subjective manual decisions in day to day operation and vastly increasing the efficiency and throughput of the album review process.

Additionally Shelton will optimised cut plan capability for the Shelton AI Review station or use in the fabric production plants, based on the automated classifier and grading system output which forms a key component in the ROI of the entire system.

“At the show, we will focus on the output data from our vision systems and how this can generate benefit for the whole value chain, including brand, by providing to everyone a reliable source of fabric quality data immediately the fabric is inspected,” explains CEO Mark Shelton. “This results in reduced lead times, reduced fabric waste and increased productivity and efficiency and our patterned fabric inspection system is now already entering new markets such as outdoor upholstery and one piece woven (OPW) airbags, even as the original market of camouflage printing continues to grow.”

Pushing the boundaries

BTMA CEO Jason Kent

“BTMA companies continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible and some of the most recent innovations by our member companies are really going beyond what has previously been possible,” says BTMA CEO Jason Kent. “This year has been extremely productive for our members so far and there will be much to talk about in Singapore.”
