For more than forty years now, REIFENHÄUSER have been developing, planning and manufacturing machines and equipment for the production of monofilaments and strapping tapes in Germany. Specifically for this group of products, in 2001 the REIMOTEC subsidiary was founded which is located in Lampertheim near Mannheim, Germany. REIMOTEC continues REIFFENHÄUSER’s success story.

REIMOTEC is a system supplier of monofilament and strapping tape production equipment. This means that REIMOTEC does not only supply the equipment but the entire engineering and extensive know-how in process technology. This complete package is one of the reasons why REIMOTEC has become the market leader in the monofilaments and strapping tapes area.

As a part of the Reifenhäuser Group, REIMOTEC and its customers can benefit from the wide range of experience of a market leader in extrusion technology which can also offer the flexibility, power of innovation and direct customer contact customers expect of a specialist typical of this market segment.
 

REIMOTEC specialises in the development and manufacture of lines for the production of strapping tapes from PP and PET. Stability, ease of handling and consistent product quality are the company’s targets that allow its costumers efficient production over many years.

Artificial grass, bristles, tennis racket strings, fishing lines, long lines, screens, technical textiles and many more products can be produced from monofilaments made on REIMOTEC lines. From standard lines to lines tailored to specific costumer requirements, REIMOTEC offers the complete spectrum of possibilities.

The basis for the final product quality begins in the spinning process. The thermally segmented spin head from REIMOTEC operates as an adjusting element in a closed-loop circuit. The monofilament tolerances are minimized by the use of inline diameter measurement and gravimetric throughput control.

The growing demand for PET beverage opens up new potentials for recycled PET, which is of great economic interest. REIMOTEC has pushed the development of strapping tape lines suitable for tape production from PET bottle regrind. The key component of these lines is a co-rotation twin-screw extruder.

The twin-screw extruders used in the patented reactive extrusion systems provide excellent homogeneity of the PET melt. Thus, it is possible to produce high-quality PET strapping tapes from bottle regrind.

The quality of strapping tapes mainly depends on the stretching process. A reproducible, precisely adjustable stretching point can be obtained by means of the patented stretching bar.
