The Gravimax MMX-R by Mahlo GmbH + Co. KG enhances inline quality control by delivering precise, real-time measurement of basis weight and material composition. This helps manufacturers reduce waste, improve consistency, and maintain high production standards even under challenging conditions.
Gravimax MMX-R brings greater stability and flexibility to inline quality control
In modern web production, maintaining consistent quality is becoming increasingly challenging. Materials are more complex, product specifications more demanding, and production processes must remain efficient despite fluctuating raw material qualities. At the same time, manufacturers are under constant pressure to reduce waste and improve process transparency.
Reliable inline measurement is therefore more important than ever. With the new Gravimax MMX-R, Mahlo introduces a sensor platform designed to help manufacturers monitor and control basis weight and material composition with greater precision and flexibility. The platform combines state-of-the-art hardware with a completely revamped generation of data analysis and signal processing.
Reliable quality across a wide range of materials
The Gravimax MMX-R was developed to handle the diverse materials used in today’s production environments. From very lightweight nonwovens to heavy technical materials, the system provides stable measurement results even under challenging conditions.
Its advanced X-ray technology enables precise monitoring of basis weight across the entire web width. This allows operators to detect deviations early and adjust processes before off-spec material is produced.
For manufacturers, this means greater process stability and more consistent product quality. At the same time, the new technology replaces traditional beta and transmission measurement methods with equivalent or even superior results, resulting in fewer radiation protection requirements.
Flexible solution for a wide range of applications
One of the key advantages of the new sensor platform is its versatility. The Gravimax MMX-R can be used across a wide range of applications, including:
- Nonwovens for hygiene products
- Filtration and technical textiles
- Automotive materials
- Glass fiber products
- Composites and coated materials
Total Basis Weight and Composition Measured in One System
Depending on the configuration, the system is capable of measuring not only the total basis weight but also the material composition, including components such as binders or fillers. By delivering detailed and reliable data, it offers deeper insight into the production process and helps manufacturers optimize process stability, reduce variations, and ensure consistently high product performance.
Designed for integration into modern production lines
The Gravimax MMX-R is designed to integrate easily into new or existing scanning systems. This makes it an attractive option not only for new production lines but also for modernization projects.
Combined with Mahlo’s digital process control solutions, the system provides real-time visualization of production data and supports data-driven process optimization.
A future-proof solution for inline quality control
As materials and production requirements continue to evolve, manufacturers need measuring technologies that can keep pace. With the Gravimax MMX-R, Mahlo offers a solution that combines precise measurement with flexibility and ease of integration.
The result: more stable processes, lower waste and reliable product quality across a wide range of applications.
