Extrusion International 5-2019

61 Extrusion International 5/2019 Modernizing and optimizing an existing cast film line can work without extensive capital investments. And a new business unit set up by the Reifenhäuser Group is proving exactly this: Reifenhäuser Extrusion Systems (RES) special- izes in components for demanding applications and cov- ers the following product areas: screws and barrels, ex- truders, flat dies, and extrusion tools. In setting up RES, the Troisdorf-based family company has brought all the expertise of the Reiloy, Extruders, Enka Tecnica and Extru- sion Dies business units under a single roof. “Rework” is the name of the solution that enables cus- tomers to optimize their existing equipment. Customers can increase production output and react flexibly to cur- rent trends in the market without having to buy a new cast film die. “Quicker and cheaper than a new die, bet- ter than the old one: The most expensive solution isn’t always the most efficient,” explained Philip Neumann, Sales Director at Reifenhäuser Extrusion Systems. “Our experienced rework specialists are on hand to advise cus- tomers. Where it’s not clear cut, they also advise against unnecessary new purchases.” Previously, the Troisdorf-based firm had only reworked dies that were manufactured in-house. Now, the “Extru- sioneers” also offer reconditioning services for flat dies made by other manufacturers. “Our customers benefit not only from our first-class components, but also from our extensive expertise which means that we optimize ex- isting dies ,” added Philip Neumann The company provides value with its worldwide sales and service network, extensive engineering know-how, and expertise in technical processes. All this from the point of view of economic efficiency and sustainability: The extru- sion components are tailored to customers’ needs and are offered at attractive prices, with delivery times in line with the market.
