troisdorf, march 2015 reifenhäuser cast sheet coating will present a polishing stack at the npe exhibition in orlando, fl, from march 23 to 27. under the slogan &39rethinking technology&39, the company will showcase their latest features and system technologies at booth w 3551 in the west hall.the success story continues after more than a dozen mirexmtv polishing stacks were sold, the second design series will now be launched.more than a dozen sheet extrusion lines provided with the new mirexmtv polishing stack were already sold by reifenhäuser cast sheet coating within just a few months. mainly companies operating highperformance lines for the production of pet film are currently investing in the new system featuring a mechatronic roll seton device based on the technology of uptodate highprecision machine tools.arguments speaking for a purchase of the new polishing stack are above all the extremely short changeover times for film thicknesses, and film of a thinness unreached before 120&mum and less, depending on the configuration and production parameters, can be obtained in pet film production &ndash with excellent tolerances for doublepolished highquality products. in the past, thicknesses lower than 150&mum could be realised in the industry only by using special equipment. the reduction in thickness allows producers of blister and display packaging to generate considerable cost advantages.the innovative mirexmt polishing stack technology was initially presented to the public at k 2013. thanks to the polishing stack, producers are able to reduce product changeover times and rejects by about 80, and digitally adjust the nip more precisely by a factor of 10 automatically during running production. all set data are 100 reproducible.following the outstanding success in the highperformance segment, reifenhäuser cast sheet coating has now equipped the next polishing stack series with a mechatronic roll seton device. the first line provided with a polishing stack of the mirexmths design series will already be launched in the first half of 2015 so that the advantages of the fast and reproducible adjustment of the polishing nip can then also be made available to producers of ps and pp film. the first line of this type will be supplied to a european producer of polypropylene cups. due to the lack of hydraulic systems commonly used in the past, the lines now meet the requirements for installation in clean rooms and thus satisfy the ever more stringent criteria in the production of food packaging.about reifenhäuser cast sheet coating gmbh & co. kgreifenhäuser cast sheet coating specializes in the development and manufacture of complete cast film lines, sheet lines and coating lines as well as dies and winders for the production of films for packaging, surface protection, office supplies, hygiene articles and industrial applications. over a period of 40 years, the company has developed specific competencies in the manufacture of technologies for precisely adjustable film thicknesses and distribution of the individual layers at high speed, for precise polishing of sheets, and the processing of a broad range of raw materials. the company excels with an especially high inhouse manufacturing depth. in addition to all components for casting sections, polishing stacks and winders, the portfolio of the company also includes dies, feedblocks, extruders and the corresponding screws and barrels completely manufactured inhouse. the troisdorfbased business unit is headed by dr. jochen hennes.about reifenhäuser groupthe reifenhäuser group, headquartered in troisdorf near cologne, germany, is the world&39s leading supplier of plastics extrusion lines, machines, and components. the group has the world&39s largest company knowledge network for extrusion technology six business units with nine subsidiaries bundle highly specialised knowledge in design, process technology, automation systems, project planning, manufacturing, project management and logistics. as a whole, the group covers the largest range of extrusion technologies. its companies offer systems for the production of films, sheets, nonwovens, monofilaments, wood polymer composites, and the corresponding components. the company established in 1911 as a forge is now managed for the third generation by brothers bernd, klaus and ulrich reifenhäuser.
