With the PROFILE.RAISER, Greiner Extrusion Group presents a new system that automatically guides profiles to the correct entry position on the haul-off during start-up and at the same time closes a safety gap in the profile extrusion industry.
The manual raising of profiles into the haul-off practised for decades in profile extrusion is history – the twisting with muscle power and manually inserting pieces of wood between the profile and the haul-off now belong to the past. With the PROFILE.RAISER, Greiner Extrusion Group offers an innovative solution to a sector-wide safety problem and increases the degree of automation in extrusion. The start-up of production becomes safer, easier and more cost-efficient as a result of the PROFILE.RAISER.

| For the PROFILE.RAISER, each of the customer's profile geometries is provided individually in 3D printing process. |
The PROFILE.RAISER specifies the correct entry position of the profile and is designed in such a way that the profiles run into the haul-off at a correct angle all by themselves by means of a special locking system. As a result, the raising of the profiles in the haul-off takes place automatically during the start-up process and without safety concerns for the personnel involved. Greiner Extrusion Group has applied for a patent for this development.
To sum up, the new system has following benefits for the customer:
- Automatic positioning and raising of the profiles
- Avoids manual twisting of profiles
- Reduces personnel deployment and costs
- Increases work safety
- Assembly without tools
