During WTiN’s Innovate Textile & Apparel virtual trade show, Monforts, a leading machinery manufacturer in the field of textile finishing, is welcoming visitors to its booth to explore the coating of technical textiles with its expert and head of technical textiles, Jürgen Hanel.
The company says coated technical textiles are extremely diverse in their end-use applications and products range from substrates for digitally printed soft signage to those for high-performance composites.
“Others include airbags, automotive interior components, flame retardant barriers, filter media, geotextiles, heavy duty membranes, mattresses, and even base liners for sensor-packed dye sensitive solar cells,” the company says.
“All these very different materials require expert coating and finishing for maximum efficiency, using Monforts technologies which provide the ultimate in flexibility and the ability to switch quickly from one fabric run to the next, without compromising on the economical use of energy or raw materials.”
According to the company, Hanel will also be available to explore the latest Monforts MontexCoat coating system.
The MontexCoat features a multi-head capability and “provides the flexibility the market is looking for with an unprecedented range of options and a wide range of modules available”.
“Since we acquired the coating technology that our systems are based on, we have made a lot of refinements and all of them are reflected in higher coating accuracy and the resulting quality of the treated fabrics,” says Hanel.
“We are the only manufacturer to offer completely integrated coating lines from a single source and the coating machine is tailored to the subsequent Monforts drying technology – with all the benefits resulting from fully integrated plc control.
“Our systems have the shortest fabric path from the coating unit into the stenter and we have all variations of coating application systems too – and all of these options are available in wider widths, with the engineering and manufacturing from a single source here in Europe. Let’s talk!”
