Reduction Engineering Scheer Announces Investment in New Rotor Grinding and Measuring Equipment


Company to Outline Growth Plan and Launch of New Products at NPE 2015



KENT, Ohio – Reduction Engineering Scheer, a worldwide supplier of pulverizers, pelletizers, and rotational molding equipment, has announced a significant investment in new rotor grinding and measuring equipment in response to strong sales growth throughout the world. The investment will be among the topics of discussion at NPE2015: The International Plastics Showcase (Booth #W5987) March 23-27 in Orlando, Fla. Reduction Engineering will outline its investment plans and also announce the launch of several new products at NPE2015.



Reduction Engineering's new equipment includes a state-of-the-art CNC grinding center which delivers greater speed, improved productivity, and cost efficiency. The company also invested in a new 3-D coordinate measuring machine (CMM) which offers exceptional versatility and high accuracy.



"We're growing as a company and our primary goal is to produce cost effectively, quickly, and at a high level of quality," said Rick D'Angelo, chief operating officer for Reduction Engineering. "An integral part of our strategy is investment in state-of-the-art equipment as the company grows."



D'Angelo noted that the company's rotor resharpening business enjoyed a record year. Similarly, Reduction saw significant growth in disposable discs for pulverizing. "Our overall succcess in these areas pushed us to add this new capacity so we can continue to quickly respond to customer needs," explained D'Angelo.



The multi-grinding center adds significant new capacity to Reduction's rotor making operation. The new machine center operates at five times the speed of competitive technology centers, enabling the company to produce more rotors at a competitive cost while also servicing rotors more quickly, explained D'Angelo.



Meanwhile, the Romer ARM CMM is a unique portable device which can be extended on a six-foot articulating arm. It makes highly accurate measurements during rotor production and can be used to diagnose problems and perform incoming quality inspections.



Reduction Engineering plans to continue to invest in automation technology over the coming year, according to D'Angelo. "To process our materials cost effectively and efficiently, we will continue to focus on increased levels of automation in our grinding center," he said.
