(Interview) Reifenhäuser points the way for profound extrusion production

Reifenhäuser Group, a leader in sustainable plastic extrusion machinery established in Germany over 100 years ago in 1911, believes that plastic is often the most sustainable packaging solution due to its low material consumption and weight, as well as the energy efficiency and recyclability.


“In almost all markets, we see increasing demand for resource-conserving and recyclable products, as well as the use of large proportions of recycled materials,” notes Marcel Perrevort, CSO, Reifenhäuser Group.

Marcel Perrevort, CSO of Reifenhäuser Group, introduced the performance of the KARAT cooling ring.


To meet this demand, Reifenhäuser uses MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) technology in the field of plastic films to enable fully recyclable mono-material films with the same performance as conventional multi-material films.


Perrevort points out that smart automatization systems are also in demand to make production more efficient and alleviate the problem of the shortage of specialist staff, which is a serious problem in many regions.


He emphasizes that by using state-of-the-art connectivity, enormous efficiency potential can be leveraged. “We are countering this trend with our in-house connectivity solution c.hub, which can be applied to every new Reifenhäuser line or retrofitted to old lines, including those from third-party manufacturers,” he explains.

 

Fully recyclable all-PE pouches for food packaging


At CHINAPLAS 2025, Reifenhäuser is showcasing the latest innovations that allow manufacturers to fulfill market needs, achieve successful results and protect the environment.


Highlights include the Reifenhäuser EVO Ultra Stretch MDO unit, which enables blown film manufacturers to produce fully recyclable all-PE mono films - e.g. for barrier food pouches.


Perrevort explains that stretching gives the PE film sufficient stability to replace the usual PET film in the material composite. The necessary barrier effect is achieved with an EVOH content of less than five percent and therefore meets all requirements for complete recyclability.


In the same way, Ultra Stretch increases the barrier effect of the EVOH and reduces the necessary EVOH content while maintaining the same barrier effect. The all-PE mono film can be further processed and converted without any problems.


He adds that thanks to the patented position of the stretching unit directly in the haul-off of the blown film line, the film is also stretched at the ideal time and with the first heat, which makes the process particularly efficient and stable.

 

Recyclable films for packaging in medical and consumer goods


Another highlight is the Group’s Kdesign technologies for blown films. Kdesign is part of the Reifenhäuser Group and specializes in market-leading technologies in the areas of cooling, measurement and calibration. For example, the KARAT cooling ring is known for highest performance, lowest film tolerances and easy handling.


Also featuring at the trade fair is the Group’s CPP/CPE cast film line, offering the unparalleled transparency, printability, easy-tear properties and sealing. The line is characterized by an MDO stretching unit that enhances the film properties, enabling recyclable mono-PP films with barrier functions for food and medical packaging. Adding EVOH and stretching the film improves the barrier effect while maintaining recyclability.


In addition, the Group’s automation system PAM (precise, autonomous, mechatronic) brings its cast lines to a whole new level. PAM automatically calibrates coextrusion adapters and dies via high-precision actuators for optimum convenience, quality and productivity.


For example, once recipes have been set, they can be saved and called up immediately at the touch of a button - even by inexperienced system operators. The high degree of automation frees manufacturers from the shortage of skilled workers.


Furthermore, as the actuators only need to be supplied with power during the adjustment process and not permanently, energy consumption is 99% lower compared to a thermal expansion bolt system.

 

In almost all markets, we see increasing demand for resource-conserving and recyclable products, as well as the use of large proportions of recycled materials.
