Press Frames and Embossing Machines for the Textile Industry and Plastics Manufacturing Industry – Especially for Woven and Non-Woven Fabrics and Webs
Your production processes have to meet exacting requirements for precision and uniformity?
Do you expect the manufacturer to understand your production processes of the materials to be processed in addition to possessing the required expertise in mechanical engineering?
MES press frames and embossing machines feature fine-adjustable gap dimensions, which can be individually defined for each side. Our machines ensure a uniform line pressure over the entire product width.
The sophisticated development of machines, optimized for your individual applications is possible with our extensive expertise in process engineering. The roller surfaces are equipped with customized embossing structures. Furthermore, the rollers can be equipped with wear-resistant ceramic coatings or selected non-stick coatings as needed to achieve various surface characteristics of the web product.
Textile industry:
- Post-treatment, finishing, smoothing of woven and non-woven fabrics and filter materials
- Compression of non-woven surface structures
Plastics manufacturing industry:
- Post-treatment of plastics web (e.g.: flat or high-gloss surfaces and imitation leather)
- Embossing of structure onto imitation leather surface
- Customized working width from 1,000-6,000 mm
- Uniform line pressure over the entire product width
- Precision adjustable gap dimensions; individual fine adjustment is possible for each side
- Horizontal web feed to ensure shortest web paths

Stenter Frames and Drawframes for the Textile Industry and Plastics Manufacturing Industry – Precision Thread and Yarn Drawing
You manufacture fibers, textiles, or web products and aim to achieve high dimensional stability of your products.
Stenter frames and drawframes from MES enable the precise build up of product tension, so that precision drawing and shrinking processes can be carried out. You can operate your machines at a prescribed tension or via a defined degree of drawing.
Drawframes in combination with tension measurement rollers and dancers are used for the controlled product transport in a coating or finishing machine.
Stenter frames and drawframes are used in laboratory installations and production lines for threads and fabrics.
Textile industry and plastics manufacturing industry:
- Drawing of fibers
- Shrinking of threads
- Set-up and control of product transport and product tension
- Customized working width from 500-6,000 mm.
- Rollers on one side or both sides for large tensile force
- Chromed roller surfaces
- Rollers connected via lifetime lubricated spur gears
- Frequency controlled three-phase AC motor or servomotor drives
- Tension sensors or dancer controllers accurately detect the tension
- Tension-specific or draw-specific operation possible
- Large roller looping angles ensure optimal transfer of tensile force
- Explosion protected design available

Dynamic Accumulator with Contact-Free Web Passage for Fabrics, Foils, Films, Nonwovens, and Webs
Continuous processes where a web stop would result in the alteration of technical or optical quality characteristics can be realized by installing accumulators at the winding and unwinding units.
Productivity can be significantly increased at the same time by implementing special technical measures at the accumulator. MES accumulators achieve these results through
- A highly dynamically driven roller table to realize meter-perfect lengths during winder stops
- Web passage without roller contact and without the need for an additional make-ready
- Roller-driven accumulator universally suitable for all materials
- Gentle web transport
- Web tension measurement rollers or dancer rollers for controlling the fill and discharge speed
- Design without roller contact of web passage- no draw-in required
- High-speed entry of roller table in production mode to avoid material loss at winder
- Optimum roller design for web tension and web material
- Spindle material storage for the transfer of large forces or chain material storage optionally
