Arnhem, The Netherlands, June 15, 2016 – Teijin Aramid has upgraded its ‘Running Length’ calculator app, a useful smartphone app that helps customers to reduce waste by quantifying remaining running lengths on bobbins of aramid yarn. The app is now available on all platforms: iOS, Android and Windows (compatible for Windows 10 and higher), and offers a choice of English and Chinese. It is also downloadable from the Chinese Xiaomi app store – more stores will follow soon.

Why download this app?
Entire bobbins are rarely used in one production run and knowing how much material is left will help to reduce waste. The easy-to-use Running Length app allows Teijin’s customers to optimize the use of materials by providing information on how much material is left on a bobbin of continuous yarn after a production run, by making a weight-to-length calculation.

The app not only allows weight-to-length calculations, but also length-to-weight. If you know how much yarn length you require for a given production run, the app enables you to work out how much a bobbin should weigh before starting this production run.

You can make these calculations for different types of Twaron and Technora, as well as for different bobbin tubes. The app is compatible with both imperial and metric units, enabling customers from around the world to work with their preferred unit system.
