Inspection

Every production plant is subject to natural wear and tear processes that must be checked regularly. Our service experts use detailed checklists to analyze and document the condition of your plant and identify potential wear points that could affect your production processes. In this way, you receive well-founded recommendations for maintenance measures and optimization at an early stage. This prevents unplanned downtime and cost-intensive damage to your plant.

You also receive a safety equipment check, a record of the training needs for operators and maintenance staff, and suggestions for preventive measures regarding technologically outdated machine components.

Trust our expert assessment and receive a reliable condition check with a "seal of approval".

Reitruder Check

Our co-rotating twin-screw extruder for intelligent inline compounding and simple direct extrusion makes your production highly efficient. To maintain performance, use our Reitruder Check. We check the wear behavior of your extruder screws and barrel segments. Based on the test report, we assist you to determine the necessary service intervals and work out suitable measures that vary depending on the raw materials and operating conditions on your lines.

This helps you to safeguard the efficient output of your Reitruder and avoid unplanned machine downtimes and the associated costs.

Maintenance

Maintain the value of your production equipment by performing regular maintenance according to manufacturer specifications - from cleaning and maintenance and the correct setting of operating parameters through to the adjustment or replacement of mechanical components. We make sure that the target condition is achieved at all times. You can then maintain a high level of productivity, quality, and resale value of your line.

Die cleaning

Increase the service life of your dies and avoid downtimes caused by defects. Regular cleaning reduces internal pressure on the die (melt pressure) and improves the behavior of the melt flow across the entire die width. This results in longer service life and a constant, high spinning quality.

Melt pipe cleaning

Avoid deposits and impurities in the polymer. Schedule the regular cleaning of the melt pipes between extruder and die. Our service includes disassembling the melt pipes and heater, as well as cleaning the pipes in a pyrolysis furnace. In addition, all the screws on the adapters are replaced.

Screw and barrel cleaning

Screws and barrels have to withstand extreme loads in the extrusion process every day. This results in deposits and impurities. Therefore, regular cleaning should be performed by professionals. This prevents negative impacts on the polymer and reduces the frequency of screen filter changes. Our service also includes a wear diagnosis for the screw and inner wall of the barrel to assist your investment planning.

Repairs

Despite regular line inspection and maintenance, individual components may fail due to wear and tear: This requires repairs or complete replacement. Here, you can rely on our professional service – performed precisely to manufacturer specifications and using original spare parts. You can then restore the target condition at any time to safeguard reliable and efficient production.

Die exchange

Avoid downtimes caused by defects. Die exchange reduces internal die pressure (melt pressure) and improves the behavior of the melt flow across the entire die width. This results in longer service life as initial pressure is reduced and impurities cannot access the melt filter from the die. In addition, you achieve constant, high spinning quality. A new die will save you up to 70% in downtimes compared to conventional cleaning. You also receive a professional overhaul of the flow channel, including any damage repair and - if necessary - a new coating.

Refurbishment flat dies, special dies and coextrusion feedblocks

A complete refurbishment is often the cost-efficient alternative to replacing a component or machine, whether it is a matter of scratched dies, damaged edges, wear, or mechanical and electrical components that are in need of repair. We make your components fit for production again – and, by the way, this is independent of the original manufacturer. There are no limits to the possibilities.

Modernization

Production lines are long-term investments - some with service lives lasting several decades. At the same time, technological development takes place at a never-ending pace in many areas. Therefore, check your line regularly for any modernizations that may be available. This will reduce energy and material consumption, simplify operation, and increase product quality.

Electronic components are particularly subject to rapid evolutionary cycles, for example in the area of line control. Therefore, make use of our regular software updates. This allows you to increase line performance cost-effectively without having to make changes to the hardware.

We also offer comprehensive upgrades that involves the complete exchange of hardware components or their addition. This provides you with significantly greater performance and new "state-of-the-art" functions, such as dies with automated product thickness change. You also reduce the probability of failure of outdated components and achieve better spare parts availability.

Benefit from a variety of different modernization packages for all line areas - from line control, winders, haul-offs, hot parts (extruders, dies, blown-film die heads, etc.) through to complete retrofits where the entire line is thoroughly refurbished.

Shaping

Raise your existing line to a new level. Get the best performance for your shaping unit with our upgrades. Our state-of-the-art feedblock (REIcofeed PRO) and extrusion dies offer maximum performance, flexibility, and optimized film quality with a fast return on investment. For example, save expensive raw materials with our solution for edge-zone monomaterial encapsulation. This provides excellent layer distribution at maximum efficiency. Our dies and feedblocks are retrofittable and increase overall line efficiency significantly. At the same time, you improve the sustainability and quality of your film production.

Conversion from mono to coextrusion

More and more applications rely on multilayer films. Simply convert your existing blown film line from mono to coextrusion. We exchange all hot parts for the latest components (extruder, melt pipes, die heads, etc.). The remaining equipment (haul-offs and winders) can still be used. As a result, you can expand your product range to include multilayer applications, while modernizing your line at lower costs.
