Mahlo to showcase advanced textile solutions at Febratex 2024

Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG, a global leader in measuring, control, and automation systems for the textile and finishing industry, is pleased to announce its participation in the Febratex trade show from August 20 to 23, 2024. The event will take place in Blumenau, Brazil, a hub for textile and garment production.

Discovering cutting-edge straightening and process control technologies

Visitors can find Mahlo at Sector 01 / Space 20 - 22, where the company will present its latest advancements in straightening technology and process control. The booth will be jointly hosted by Mahlo’s sales agency MBR Textile and Christian Matthias, the head of Mahlo’s application department. They will be available to provide in-depth knowledge and demonstrations of Mahlo's state-of-the-art solutions.

Mahlo’s technology addresses the critical needs of textile manufacturers, ensuring high-quality production with minimized distortion and optimized processes. The company’s automatic straightening system guarantees thread-straight fabric across various applications, thanks to its modular design that can be tailored to individual production environments. Additionally, Mahlo offers several process control systems designed to optimize stenter frame operations by measuring and controlling parameters such as dwell time, thread density, and residual moisture. These systems help manufacturers improve textile quality, save raw materials, and reduce energy costs.

“Brazil hosts all industries needed for textile and garment production, from fiber to final product, making Mahlo’s diverse solutions highly relevant and essential for many manufacturers,” said Christian Matthias. “Our technologies help producers achieve their goals of high-quality goods and optimized processes that balance quality and economy.”

Mahlo introduces AI-supported Orthopac RVMC-20 plus at ITMA Asia 2026

From November 20 to 24, 2026, Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG will present its system portfolio for the textile industry at ITMA Asia in Shanghai. Together with its local sales and service partner Kuantex and Mahlo China, the Bavarian technology specialist will demonstrate at Booth C22 in Hall 7.1 how intelligent measurement and control technology can improve the quality and efficiency of textile production processes. The spotlight will be on the new Orthopac RVMC-20 plus, which combines precise weft straightening with fully integrated process control.

Smart Quality Control for Technical Textiles

In the end, what matters is the result: a filter that performs reliably, a membrane that remains stable in storm conditions, a composite material with precisely defined properties. But the path to achieving this is demanding. In the production of technical textiles, numerous parameters interact – and even the smallest deviations can have major consequences.

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.

Orthopac RVMC-20 plus: German Engineering for Smarter Weft Straightening

In times of rising cost pressure and growing quality demands, textile producers worldwide are searching for solutions that combine precision, efficiency, and sustainability. With its latest innovation, the Orthopac RVMC-20 plus, Mahlo once again demonstrates the strength of German engineering: improving proven technology to meet today’s challenges.

Monforts ready for India’s next phase of textile growth at ITME 2026
