Extrusion International 5-2022

59 Extrusion International 5/2022 others have an aggressive effect due to inorganic acids. Many colorants and fillers also stress the components. Reifenhäuser Reiloy offers a reliable solution for this with its highly wear- resistant screws and barrels and regu- larly sets benchmarks in terms of qual- ity and performance. The components offer a demonstrably longer service life, precise matching of raw materials and additives, exclusive alloys developed in- house, and process-optimized surfaces. Manufacturers of injection molded and extruded products thus benefit from the best cost-benefit ratio in the indus - try. Higher resistance to wear is pro- vided by special iron-based alloys and nickel-based alloys that match the raw material being processed. The decisive factor here is the composition of the al- loys, because wear protection depends not only on the hardness of the layer. Ralf Pampus, Managing Director at Reifenhäuser Reiloy, explains: "We are the only screw and barrel manufac- turer to develop and produce the hard material alloys - and even the powders required for wear protection – in-house in our own materials laboratory. This means we offer expertise across the en - tire process that is unique in themarket. Recent independent tests have again proven that Reifenhäuser Reiloy's wear protection is the best on the market and that the investment pays off – be- cause high-quality components need to be replaced less frequently, produce consistent quality and thus ensure the productivity of a line." Reifenhäuser Reiloy has decades of experience in wear protection systems and takes a holistic approach to wear protection consulting: Reiloy experts determine the optimum interaction between barrel and screw armor for each plasticizing unit and select the ap- propriate surface treatment.
