Mahlo GmbH + Co KG is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of measuring, control and automation systems for the textile and finishing industry as well as the coating, film and paper sector. The German machine manufacturer has been successfully represented in the Pakistani textile market for several decades.
Mahlo straightening machines have been synonymous with thread-straight products for years. This has enabled Mahlo to continuously maintain its position in a demanding market. The machine builder also offers systems for process control and quality measurement. An all-round package for efficient production, individually tailored to the needs of the manufacturer.
In the development and construction of the straightening equipment, the company draws on more than 75 years of experience. Since Mahlo carries out all developments itself, it brings its technologies to market maturity very quickly. Thus, Mahlo has repeatedly set standards in the field of straightening and regulating. In this way, the machines and devices contribute to ensuring the high-quality standards in the Pakistani textile industry.
Straightening machines
With the classic weft straightener, Mahlo presents a system that can be used universally for almost any application. Its more compact version enables the fine straightening of textile fabric. But Mahlo also has the right answer for difficult tasks, for example for particularly high demands due to large fabric widths in carpets or dimensionally stable textiles such as denim. Pakistan plays an important role in the world market, especially in the denim sector. Accordingly, the demands on fabric quality are high. Only straightened fabric can satisfy customers and end users in the long run.
For asymmetrical distortions and for non-elastic fabric that cannot be scanned, the German manufacturer uses a special straightening principle with its needle straightener.
Process control
With a multitude of sensors, all relevant processes around the stenter frame are recorded and corrected in real time. These include residual moisture and dwell time control as well as measurement of the mesh row density.
Quality measurement system
Mahlo has developed the Qualiscan QMS quality measurement system to measure, record and control critical process parameters such as moisture, coating thickness, basis weight, coating application, material composition, etc. The various sensors and measuring frames of the modular system can be used in virtually all industries that manufacture web-shaped products – and help manufacturers save costs and energy.
