With the Vietnam Textile & Garment Industry Expo, SaigonTex for short, the most important trade show for the Vietnamese textile industry takes place from 10 to 13 April 2019 – in a market that is still developing rapidly. That Mahlo GmbH is the perfect partner for a successful future, visitor can make sure of at booth A1 1G-8. The German machine builder will present straightening technology and concepts for process control together with its sales and service partner Thach Anh Vang Co.

Straightening technology and process control for Vietnamese Textiles

The strategy of the Vietnamese textile industry includes offering high quality products to reasonable prices. That is why producers always are on the lookout for new technology. Mahlo provides the perfect solutions for that. The automatic weft straightener Orthopac RVMC-15 unites over 70 years of experience in machine building with latest developments. The result is the Mahlo-invented opto-electronic scanner for distortion detection using an oscillating lens and a re-engineered digital signal processor. It is probably the most sensitive and versatile system in the market.

In the area of process control, Mahlo introduces the Optipac VMC-15. The modular system optimizes drying or fixing processes as well as the processes all around the stenter. Translated to the service life of a stenter, the energy costs amount to roughly 10 million euro.

With the right straightening ad control technology, up to 30 % of this sum can be saved. For Mahlo clients, that means they can save several million euros by investing in a Mahlo process control system.

In order to inform decision makers in Vietnam concretely and effectively about the advantages of Mahlo solutions, Mahlo’s Area Sales Manager Stephan Kehry and the trade show team welcome interested visitors at booth A1 1G-8.
