+ Saving Costs – Conserving Resources: Sustainability in the Textile Industry

Mahlo demonstrates how energy efficiency can be optimised in industrial corporations and the ecological balance improved on a sustainable basis. This saves resources and thus in particular: money. Each company has some hidden savings potential to a greater or lesser degree waiting to be tapped. The ROI can be significantly increased with already comparatively little means. The simultaneous optimisation of product and process quality represents welcome and revenue-enhancing additional benefits. Uncommon task assignments and engineering approaches of the Mahlo R&D team have created innovative solutions. The results demonstrated at the trade fair will convince you.

Of course, cost reduction and optimisation potentials through process control system constitute a major focus. Mahlo is presenting the new ATMOSET SMT-12, a dynamic cylinder dryer control system, which already experiences a major demand because of its high savings potential. Up to 15% of energy can be saved through product-specific dryer control. Sums in the 5 to 6 digit range can be saved through the reduced energy consumption in the energy-intensive drying process. Sustained savings can also be realised with the enhanced modules and sensors of the OPTIPAC VMC-12 process control. The ECOMAT AML module minimises energy consumption up to 16% alone through optimised exhaust air control. The dwell and heatsetting time can be optimised fully automatically with the PERMASET VMT module. This means optimal utilisation of the stenter capacity at a lower energy requirement per metre of product produced.

Amongst others, a demonstration system with circulating product web will be presented. Here you can view the new straightening concept ORTHOPAC XRVMC-12 at its best. As the first and only straightening system it offers the advantageous combination of simultaneous feedforward and feedback control of the straightening process.

The multiple straightening units, selectable independently from each other, guarantee optimal monitoring with even faster and more precise straightening results. “Right first time production” thus comes within close reach and contributes to lowered costs. On the reverse side of the demo model you will find the ORTHOPAC RVMC-12, the classic model of the straightening- and process control system.

For the coating and converting sector Mahlo presents the modular and traversing process control system QUALISCAN QMS-12. It measures and controls various parameters over the entire fabric width:

• Basis weight: beta radiation, X-ray and infrared sensors
• Humidity: infrared and microwave sensors
• Material thickness: single and double-sided laser systems

The QUALISCAN QMS-12 is customized to the needs of various coating applications. The modular design offers interesting options for expansion. On display is the measuring frame WEBPRO M, which can be equipped with up to 3 sensors.
Models of the defect detection system WEBSCAN WIS-12 and the pattern detection and design-repeat control PATCONTROL PCS-12 complement the programme.
The Mahlo Team expects its guests and friends of the company at the cosy bistro area.
