Produce PET Films from 150 μm to 1.5 mm in a Stable Process - and More, of Course, on Request!

Whether Virgin or Recycled Material

Flexibility and Performance

The reliable, vacuum-supported twin-screw technology gives you all the freedom you need. Whether virgin or recycled material - the output remains the same. PET/PE laminates can also be fed directly back into the process. PP can be processed using the same system technology. 

In addition to the flexibility of the input raw material, we offer you even more as part of ValuePET: Fast product changeover times thanks to the use of mechatronic calenders. A reactor-free process that accelerates recipe changes and a high degree of automation in the integration of components offer you the ideal reaction speed in system operation and guarantee a high production throughput.

Technology for High Flexibility and Performance

One Step Process

The Reifenhäuser twin screw enables the direct processing of a wide variety of PET input materials. The input materials can be fed to the twin screw without pre-treatment (one-step-process). Material buffers in reactors for material preparation are thus eliminated.

How direct extrusion affects your OEE
One Step Process
Mechatronic Polishing Stack

Manufacturers who cool, polish and shape their thermoforming sheet with high precision in the extrusion process achieve better product quality. The mechatronic polishing stack from the MIREX-MT series allow precise and reproducible adjustment of the roller gap. They therefore enable fast film thickness changes and increase the OEE of the thermoforming sheet line enormously.

MT Polishing Stacks
Energy Efficiency

The operating costs contribute significantly to the long-term success of your investment. Many features such as the MT polishing stacks, PAM and direct extrusion enable fast recipe and product changes. This ensures high system performance and throughput consistency, regardless of whether the film is thin or thick and whether there is little or a lot of recycled material.

Automation

The complete integration of the system components enables a high degree of automation, which increases line flexibility and productivity enormously. Recipe changes in terms of recycled content or product changes in terms of film thickness within minutes are a matter of course for us.

EFSA Cockpit

Product quality is crucial, especially when it comes to films that come into direct contact with food! The EFSA Cockpit shows you all important quality parameters in real time and sents alerts if necessary.

How you benefit from the EFSA Cockpit
EFSA Cockpit

After the approval, Reifenhäuser has supported us intensively far beyond the contractual agreement – until our end products had exactly the properties we wanted after the thermoforming process. That’s not to be taken for granted and we appreciate it very much.

How PAM Works With Dies

The quality of films, sheets or tapes can only be as good as the quality of the molding. "Our flat dies impress with the highest manufacturing quality and match the respective application perfectly," says Bänsch. "With the PAM option, we offer our customers a convenient solution for setting the die that is also economically worthwhile." PAM enables autonomous and mechatronic adjustment and control of the flex lip conveniently via the system control. Depending on the die design, autonomous adjustment of the dust bar, width adjustment and lip opening is also possible via adjustment of the lower die lip.
