Extrusion International 2-2018

PREVIEW 64 Extrusion International 2/2018 Tecno System Srl chooses PLAST 2018 as the first impor- tant event to officially present the acquisition of B-TEC and at the same time the restyling of its logo and extru- sion lines. Tecno Systemhas been working for several decades close- ly with B-TEC Srl, a world leader in design and construc- tion of high quality extrusion dyes and calibrators for the extrusion of thermoplastic profiles. B-TEC specialized in dyes and calibrators for profiles for window frames, roller shutters (2x10 m/min), panels, cable management ducts, gutters and rainwater pipes, etc. B-TEC’s skills, combined with Tecno System’s experience in roll-forming, punch- ing, “fly-cut” at high production speeds are perfectly integrated, and give as result a high level of customer satisfaction, the quality achieved on the finished product, together with the renown strength and durability of the B-TEC tooling. Among the most important and innovative common proj- ects resulting from the synergy between Tecno System and B-TEC, it is worth mentioning the one concerning the reinforcement of profiles by means of coextrusion with fiberglass wires in window profiles. This technology makes it possible to keep the traditional construction of the line unchanged, the extruder is the same, as no abra- sive material goes through the cylinder and screws. The downstream of the line is also the usual window profile line, as well as the die and calibrator, making it possible to produce profiles without and with reinforcement with the same set of tooling. The window profiles present al- most no retraction, the frames made with this profiles don’t need a metal reinforcement for most of the com- mon dimensions of windows. Another recent project has been realized for an impor- tant Russian client, concerning the construction of a com- plete line for the production of SIDING panels in coex- truded foamed PVC, with a pigmented surface layer on which a wood grain is embossed by a particularly relevant calender. Further intriguing projects that require the expertise of both brands are already under study while the main ob- jective remains to implement the intuitions and ideas of the final customers for the creation of innovative prod- ucts with a strong impact on national and international market. “The strengths of Tecno System are versatility and flexibil- ity,” as pointed out byMarco Rubbi, Commercial Manager, “fundamental characteristics to face a market character- ized by a growing variety of extrusions made with differ- ent thermoplastic materials. This merger will help us bring our already excellent positions to a higher level, driving us to concentrate on projects with higher added value. So the 2018 year represents for Tecno System a decisive year of strong growth, already consolidated in the previ- ous year in which the TPV Division Mechanical Division, part of Tecno System, celebrated 60 years of activity and successes. Supported by a growing demand in the field of extrusion lines as “turnkey project”, Tecno System strengthens its position on the national and international markets.
