Reis Technology wins SPE Award 2012
Share:
In this year's competition of the renowned American association Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), the Reis group, with its system for direct extrusion of a hose seal, won first prize in process technologies.
Participating companies are Reis Extrusion, Reis Robotics (USA), and Reis Robotics (Germany) realizing the international project involving worldwide leading process technology.
Flexible direct robot extrusion means:
· Significant reduction of labor costs in
comparison with the alternative TSR (EPDM) profile assembly, using glue or mechanic fixation means
· The extrusion of a solid profile or multiple chamber profile from SantopreneTM TPV onto different substrates is only possible in X-Y-Z direction
· No pre-treatment on PP substrates
· High process flexibility and freedoms
with the design due to the use of 6-axis robot systems
· Fully-automatic process without rework
· Almost no TPV waste since excess TPV is fed to the process again
· Excellent dimension stability, compression set and surface quality
· Good recyclability since it is one product family - PP substrate and TPV profile
