Mahlo at the virtual Innovative Textile and Apparel Show

For the second time the Innovative Textile and Apparel Show opens its virtual fairground this year. For the second time also Mahlo takes the chance to get in contact with customers from all over the world. The experts from Germany will present the latest systems and solutions for efficient and high-quality textile production and finishing. The Bavarian machine builder's presentation will focus on process optimisation in a digital environment. Visitors have free admission and can register at https://innovate.wtin.com/registration/.

"Solutions for Textile Finishing, Nonwovens and more": this is the all-embracing motto at the Mahlo stand, which will take visitors into the world of measuring and control technology of the highest quality standards.

Thread-straight goods and optimised processes

In the textile industry, Mahlo is synonymous with high-quality automatic weft straighteners. The experts' recipe for success is decades of experience paired with the latest technological developments. Whether roller or needle straighteners, whether for the finest textiles or heavy fabrics - interested parties can find out about the right equipment for their specific requirements.

Solutions for technical textiles and nonwovens

Support in the production process is also available for technical textiles and nonwovens. The focus here is on the Qualiscan QMS quality measurement system.

The modularly designed system, which consists of sensors and measuring frames, measures, logs and controls critical parameters such as basis weight, moisture or layer thickness across the entire fabric width. Depending on the application and task, different measuring methods are used for this purpose.

Thanks to this broad portfolio, Mahlo offers customised solutions for almost all requirements.
