German textile machinery specialist Monforts will spotlight its cutting-edge coating and finishing technologies for technical textiles at Techtextil North America, held in Atlanta, Georgia, from May 6-8. Represented by PSP Marketing of Charlotte, North Carolina, Monforts will exhibit at stand 3231 within the VDMA German Pavilion at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The company’s versatile MontexCoat system, combined with Montex stenters, enables the production of a wide range of technical fabrics, including tents, awnings, blackout blinds, sail cloth, automotive interiors, and medical disposables. The system supports diverse techniques such as full PVC coating, pigment dyeing, low-penetration treatments, knife and roller coating, screen printing, and solvent coatings in explosion-proof environments. Rapid fabric changeovers ensure material and energy efficiency.
Achim Gesser, Monforts Area Sales Manager, noted the strong market response to the MontexCoat’s flexibility. For customers with simpler needs, the economical coaTTex unit offers air knife and knife-over-roller coating.
At its Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Monchengladbach, Germany, Monforts has integrated a MontexCoat unit into a full pilot line for industrial-scale fabric testing. This line can process materials at up to 320°C, even applying different coatings on each fabric side in a single pass using TwinTherm burners. It also includes a powerful stretching unit capable of ten-ton tensioning in both length and width.
Additional innovations include the T-max grease-free stenter chain for high-speed, high-temperature applications. With customers spanning home textiles to automotive and flame-retardant fabrics, Monforts is set to reaffirm its commitment to North America’s growing technical textiles market at the upcoming Atlanta showcase.
