Tonello launches “THE LAUNDRY (R)EVOLUTION“ web series

In this modern fashion era where the brands, retails and final customers are struggling to get transparency and real data about garments production processes, Tonello, a world leader in garment finishing machineries , is now launching “THE LAUNDRY (R)EVOLUTION“, a five-episode series on all official Tonello’s channels.

“Talking to all players of our business, we realized the increasingly more important request of the real data concerning the garments finishing process“ said Alice Tonello, marketing and R&D Director at Tonello “so we decided to create this innovative and unique web series were we explain in an easy and immediate way, how we manage to create innovation that allows our machineries to use 7 liters of water to wash a pair of jeans instead the usual 150 liters used in regular production”.

Episode #1 : THE BEGINNING

is already live on the web and explain why we decided to take up the challenge of reducing waste in the amount of energy and environmental resources used

Episode #2 : THE CONCRETENESS

The revolution comes alive: improving performance while at the same time, reducing consumption. The overview introduces the three simple and decisive steps for achieving this goal. For garment finishing, it marks the beginning of a new era.

Episode #3 – First step: LASER BLAZE

Saying goodbye to manual scraping, thinking big means taking denim design to the next level. Thanks to Tonello’s research, creativity enters the finishing process with the strength and awareness of a protagonist.

Episode #4 - Second step: THE ALL-IN-ONE-SYSTEM AND OBLEACH...TOGETHER!

NoStone®, ECOfree 2, UP, Core, and OBleach (the new Tonello ozone process that "bleaches" jeans without using permanganate), generate an almost infinite number of creative solutions. In addition, all wet processes are carried out in a single machine, thus drastically reducing consumption and the waste of resources.

Episode #5 - Third step: Metro, the measure of transparency

With Metro, the facts are incontrovertible and only the reality, proven by data, count. There is no possibility for manipulation, only constant, reliable, and automatic performance measurement of the entire process. Detailed, analytical, or synthetic data according to necessity, but always objective and accurate in order to keep improving on the path to sustainability, savings and respect for the environment.

“We created this 5 episodes which will give to all the players of our business, real data in the name of practicality, transparency, responsibility.” continues to tell us Alice Tonello “5 videos that introduce you to the protagonists, the stars of an authentic revolution that represents a radical paradigm change as well as our contribution to helping the planet.”

New Gravimax MMX-R X-ray sensor platform opens up new application fields

The demands placed on quality control in web-based production processes are increasing: materials are becoming more complex, basis weights are varying more widely, and at the same time, pressure is growing to make processes more efficient and transparent. Precise measurement data across the entire web width has therefore become a key factor in ensuring stable production processes. With its new Gravimax MMX-R sensor platform, Mahlo introduces a radiometric measurement solution designed to set new standards in determining basis weight and material composition. The platform combines advanced X-ray technology with newly developed signal processing, enabling measurement tasks that previously often required multiple sensor technologies.

BW Converting to present its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 at Techtextil 2026

BW Converting will present its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 precision spray finishing system at Techtextil Frankfurt 2026, taking place April 21-24 at Messe Frankfurt. Visitors to Hall 12, Booth C56B, will have the opportunity to explore how this advanced spray technology helps textile manufacturers improve finishing quality, increase efficiency and reduce resource consumption across a wide range of applications.

Smart sensors, smart savings - Reducing energy and cost in textile finishing

As energy prices, sustainability requirements and quality expectations continue to rise, manufacturers of technical textiles face increasing pressure to optimize efficiency while ensuring process reliability. At the same time, skilled labor shortages require production systems that are intuitive, automated and easy to manage. PLEVA addresses these challenges with robust, maintenance-friendly sensor technologies combined with intelligent process control.

ABB and Syre partner to explore technologies for industrial-scale textile recycling

ABB has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Swedish textile impact company Syre to jointly explore technologies to support the development of Syre’s first textile-to-textile recycling plant in Vietnam. The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration to investigate how ABB’s automation, electrification and digital technologies could contribute to safe, efficient and scalable operations. It will also explore how these capabilities could further optimize process and quality control performance as Syre advances its ambition to produce circular polyester at industrial scale.
