Mahlo at Techtextil 2015 - Preparations in full swing

Qualiscan QMS-12 - Traversing quality control system for Technical Textiles

At Techtextil from 4 to 7 May in Frankfurt Mahlo presents in Hall 3.0 at Stand F04 innovations in the areas of process control and automatic straightening systems for technical textiles and related industrial fields.

Innovations on weft straighteners and process control for Technical Textiles

On display at the show is the traversing control system Qualiscan QMS-12. Important process parameters such as thickness, weight, coating thickness or moisture can be measured, recorded and controlled on-line and over the entire width of the product by this system.

Measurement without radiation protection requirements!

The focus lies on the presented sensor Opens internal link in new windowGravimat FMX-T, an X-ray sensor for non-nuclear measurement of basis weight and thickness. By means of this sensor, thin layers, coatings, film, nonwoven and other web can be measured precise and exempt from radiation regulations.

"The market for technical textiles is very exciting, with rapid change and constant innovation and development. You always have to keep the ball rolling in order not to fall behind," said Rainer Mestermann, CEO of Mahlo. "Techtextil serves as an industry barometer for us and offers a cross-section of the current market situation. Hence, we are pleased to be able to present our developments again at Techtextil."

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.

Stefan Moll becomes new CEO of the machinery manufacturer

Starting January 1, 2026, Stefan Moll will take over the management of Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG, the world’s leading provider of measurement and control technology for web-shaped materials. With this move, Mahlo is focusing on the long-term safeguarding of its market position and technological leadership. The current CEO, Rainer Mestermann, will leave the company after 14 years as part of a planned succession arrangement.

Knitex Industries Ltd. (Mondol Group) invests in advanced Mahlo technology

Bangladesh’s Knittex Industries Ltd. is known for its commitment to top-quality knitwear and responsible produc-tion. To further enhance fabric quality, the company has invested in a Mahlo Orthopac RVMC-15 weft straightener. Installed by Tootal Quality Resources, the system ensures perfect fabric alignment and supports Knittex’s goal of continuous improvement.

Techtextil 2026 recognition for the UK’s FET

Fibre Extrusion Technology (FET) will receive the Techtextil 2026 New Production Technology Innovation Award at next week’s Techtextil in Frankfurt (April 21-24). The Leeds-based member of the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) has developed the FET-500, a new toxic solvent-free gel small scale system for the production of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).
