We developed some completely new technological approaches to achieve this."

Cost-effective production solutions

Reifenh?user Extrusion Technology shows an extruder study for the future that combines state-of-the-art design with innovative features. Some of these features, such as the new Energizer Screw for up to 20 percent higher productivity, are already available today. Other features, like the use of thermoelectric generators for energy recovery, offer a vision of what extrusion will be like in the future. 

Extruder of the Future

With its new ReiWood profile and matching line technology, Reifenh?user Extrusion Technology is setting a new standard for the WPC market. The new developments lower production costs by up to 50 percent. The WPC experts of Reifenh?user Extrusion Technology will be glad to provide more information.  

Reifenh?user Kiefel Extrusion and Polyrema will also present their new features for more productivity, quality, and energy efficiency in blown film production. Presentations include the new cooling systems EVOLUTION ULTRA COOL and EVOLUTION ULTRA COOL FFS for up to 20 percent more output, the EVOLUTION ULTRA FLAT flattening unit for faster and smoother processing, as well as complete mono to 11-layer production lines.

Reifenh?user Cast Sheet Coating is presenting its new MIREX-MT polishing stack, which is based on the technology of state-of-the-art precision machine tools. Thanks to the high degree of automation and precision, changeover times - and waste production during changeover - can be reduced by 80 percent. For the production of barrier films, the company is offering the new ReicoFeed 2.1 feed block. It provides control of the layer structure during production. For the Asian market, Reifenh?user Cast Sheet  Coating sees especially high growth potential in cast films for surface protection. Visitors will of course find the necessary technology at the Reifenh?user booth.
