MONFORTS LAUNCHES MODULAR COATING SYSTEM

A new modular, interchangeable, coating system for technical textiles, the Montex-Allround, is being launched by Monforts at Stand A1 in Hall W1.

The new modular coating system ensures ease of adapting to the coating method required. The new patented concept provides the solution to integrate a wide variety of coating, printing and other innovative application techniques,according to Monforts.

The modules are carried, cleaned and moved with a specially-designed trolley which provides easy access to the side of the stenter in-feed with minimum downtime, said Monforts.

An explosion proof cabinet for treating certain solvents is also available for the new modular unit ensuring safe operation with the operator standing outside the enclosure.
