BTSR International, a leading company in the development of innovative solutions for yarn control is to showcase its new Universal Tension Control System and other developments at ITMA Asia + CITME in Shanghai next week.

BTSR has combined its Ultrafeeder and Unico technologies to create a new concept it calls Universal Tension Control System. Unico is a tension control device designed for use in both circular knitting and hosiery, which when combined with the Ultrafeeder feeding device, gives positive yarn constant tension control with yarn storage and release capabilities.

The new combined system incorporates automatic compensation for sudden and high yarn absorption variations, adjustable knot catcher and multi-function graphic display. The main areas of application for the new integrated system are socks, seamless, flat and circular knitting using all kinds of yarns from bare elastane to high modulus yarns. BTSR claims unlimited hosiery knitting applications including background / pattern yarns, terry / half terry, toe and heel etc.
