Mahlo to present measurement technologies at CHINAPLAS

Mahlo, the Bavarian machine supplier, will present its measurement solutions with a focus on increasing efficiency in plastics production at CHINAPLAS 2024, which will take place in Shanghai, China on April 23-26.

To respond to the demand from the plastics industry shifting its focus on increasing efficiency and sustainability, Mahlo will present the Qualiscan QMS quality measurement system.

The Qualiscan QMS quality measurement system.

With sensors and measuring frames, this modular system monitors critical parameters such as basis weight, moisture content and layer thickness across the entire fabric width. It enables a significant improvement in energy efficiency, optimization of raw material consumption and overall sustainability of production processes.

At CHINAPLAS, Mahlo will also be focusing on advances in non-nuclear measurement technology. For applications that require unrivalled precision, the Bavarian company offers the Optoscope WLI. This sensor utilises the phenomenon of white light interference and can accurately measure paint layers down to a thickness of 0.4 µm.

Another exhibit, the Infrascope NIR sensor, which uses infrared radiation, provides precise measurements of moisture content and basis weight for different components within the web simultaneously. This technology enables accurate measurements even for extremely thin silicon coatings of 0.3 to 0.5 g/m².
